RC-FPV Project

Description

RC-FPV (Remote Control First Person View) is a project aimed at creating an immersive remote control experience. Using modern web technologies, users can control an RC device, such as a car or drone, and receive a real-time video feed right in their browser. This project integrates hardware control with a web interface for a seamless user experience.

Support for gamepad controllers using the GamePad API will be added in the future.
