It would be far more interesting to have a camera equipped drone like the this [0] connected directly to the Oculus Rift. Especially if you could outfit it with two cameras instead of one, for stereo vision.

Since the camera moves independently of the drone, you could use the full range of motion of your head to control the camera while flying it. It would probably be the closest you could get to feeling like you are flying yourself.
