100 dancing drones set world record for the most unmanned aerial vehicles airborne simultaneously. via intel.com
…Intel CEO Brian Krzanich asked marketing director of perceptual computing Anil Nanduri what he would do with 100 flying drones. Nanduri put that challenge to a small group of artists and technology researchers at Ars Electronica Futurelab in Hamburg, Germany.
The team quickly created an outdoor flying drone light show syncopated to a live orchestra.
When all 100 light-equipped drones danced and painted 3D shapes and messages in sky above Flugplatz Ahrenlohe, Tornesch, near Hamburg, Germany in early November, a new record was born.
Here is a video of the making of Drone 100!
