As a fifth semester project at the FHNW university of applied science, a software is created to simulate every aspect of the Tello Drone virtually. The result is a game, called Tello Camp, developed with the Unity game-engine, which precisely simulates the behaviour of the Tello Drone. It helps students learn how to program and fly the drone without the cost and risks of a real drone. Thanks to its immersive and virtual environment, learning with Tello Camp is a very productive and fun experience.

Tello Camps goal is to create an immersive and realistic simulation of the real tello drone, enabling students to learn and program with our solution the exact same way as with the real tello drone
In some computer science modules at the FHNW, the professors are using physical drones to make the lectures more practical and vivid. There are some downsides to using physical drones: They use a lot of space, are expensive, and may break easily. The project creates a software which simulates almost every interaction possible with the real drone. The drones used by the FHNW are Tello Drones, easily programmable and for which the students create their own controller in form of a smartphone application.
In our project, we have created Tello Camp, a with Unity developed game which simulates the real Tello Drone very well. It allows students to program it and develop a controller for it. Everything that can be programmed for our Tello Camp software, also works for the real Tello Drone. The environment is much more realistic than before while flying through it feels just like the real deal. Students can train flying with Tello Camp, making them less likely to damage the real drone when they first fly with it. The immersive user experience of Tello Camp makes it a wonderful training tool for students, whether it is for programming or learning to fly.
