High tech display by a cloud of 250 drones lights up the sky in Las Vegas
High technology provider Intel hit the headlines during the CES conference and expo in Las Vegas this week with its glittering night display above the Bellagio, achieved by 250 LED-equipped drones flying in various formations.
The Shooting Star Drones repeated the stunning display put on by Intel at last year’s Super Bowl half-time show, twisting and turning in the sky to make a galaxy of patterns and shapes, all within an invisible geo-fenced bowl for safety.
The built-for-purpose fleet of 250 drones is programmed using Intel animation software, with every movement perfectly timed and coordinated in advance by Intel’s in-house team of animators. In the sky, they’re controlled by a single pilot.
