Intel is out to replace fireworks with drones. In 2015 Intel started off with 100 drones working together, and in 2016 started working with Disney to have 300 drones create one of the first publicly viewable drone light shows. Leading up to the 2018 Winter Olympics, Intel's Drone Light Show Team managed to setup and launch 1218 of their ShootingStar Drones for about 40 seconds of in-flight animations. While I'm sure many of us have seen the show (and here if you haven't) it's an amazing intersection of art and technology. Take a look at what goes into these world record setting productions. Sketches and brainstorming, research and iterations, and all of the logistic needed to get the machines into a harsh winter environment - weeks of effort for 40 seconds of footage is a true testament to the engineering and design process!
