Abstract
A computer system for mapping the movement of a user to the controls of a drone generates, with a mixed-reality device, a simultaneous localization and mapping coordinate system of a user environment. The system then receives, from sensors within the mixed-reality device, a movement variable that comprises an indication that the user has moved a first distance in a particular direction with respect to the simultaneous localization and mapping coordinate system. The system communicates, to the drone, a movement command to move a second distance and particular direction based upon information within the movement variable.
