In order to collaboratively explore an environment with a Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV), an operator needs a mobile interface,\r\nwhich can support the operatorââ?¬â?¢s divided attention. To this end, we developed the Micro Aerial Vehicle Exploration of an\r\nUnknown Environment (MAV-VUE) interface, which allows operators with minimal training the ability to remotely explore their\r\nenvironment with a MAV. MAV-VUE employs a concept we term Perceived First-Order (PFO) control, which allows an operator\r\nto effectively ââ?¬Å?flyââ?¬Â a MAV with no risk to the vehicle. PFO control utilizes a position feedback control loop to fly the MAV while\r\npresenting rate feedback to the operator. A usability study was conducted to evaluate MAV-VUE. This interface was connected\r\nremotely to an actual MAV to explore a GPS-simulated urban environment
