Claim:
1. One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media comprising instructions that, when executed by a computer having one or more sensors and associated with a head-mounted display apparatus and a remote controllable vehicle having an on-board camera, are capable of causing the computer to: a. generate a signal to display video from the remote vehicle's camera; b. generate a signal to control the movement of the remote vehicle; c. generate a signal to establish an orientation of the remote vehicle's camera; d. generate a signal to update the location of the remote vehicle in a direction of the orientation of the remote vehicle's camera on a level plane using x-axisometer data from at least one of the sensors indicating pivot up or pivot down of the head-mounted apparatus and an x-axisometer sensor reference data, wherein said use of x-axisometer sensor data to update the location of the remote vehicle is effectively decoupled from use of v-axisometer sensor data, thereby enabling v-axisometer sensor data of the computer to be used independently of x-axisometer sensor data of the computer to update the orientation of the remote vehicle's camera; and e. generate a signal to update the orientation of the remote vehicle's camera using v-axisometer data from at least one of the sensors indicating pivot left or pivot right of the head-mounted apparatus and a v-axisometer sensor reference data, wherein said use of v-axisometer sensor data to update the orientation of the remote vehicle's camera is effectively decoupled from use of x-axisometer sensor data, thereby enabling x-axisometer sensor data of the computer to be used independently of v-axisometer sensor data of the computer to update the location of the remote vehicle.
