[@aryudsoh]

I think it was explained on AGT how it's done.

[@albertwang5974]

It's actually pretty straightforward: 1, make a GPS ground station to provide an accuracy coordinates 2, make the drone to communicate with the GPS ground station, so, the drone know it's own position 3, for an interval of time(like one second), send singnal to every drone for the new location. 4, before the show, you can rehearsal the show on a computer with a vritual coordinates That's it! The most important part in these drone show system is: the accuracy coordinates provider!

[@wayne5000]

Let me go further: 1. If GPS transmitters are on the ground, how many? Different frequencies bands than the satellites? Otherwise you'd be jamming GPS systems to the general public. 2. I'm guessing the drones are using mesh communication? Does each drone have individual awareness of its relative position to each other as well? How much intelligence or edge technology is on the drone vs centralized control from the ground. Is the drone set up with the "dance" program before launch or is its assignment being transmitted every millisecond? 3. How does the development process of the dynamic imagery work? One way to do imagery is to simply keep the drones in a cubic array where they act as 3d pixels. You could light up the pixels as needed for the image. Yet these pixels are also moving in formation relative to each other. That software process is significant to prevent collision. 4. What are the minimum weather conditions. Wind aloft? Temperature? I assume no precipitation? 5. FAA special use permits? FCC special use permits?

[@tobiasrietveld3819]

Basically a 3-dimensional scene is converter into an array of three dimensional coordinates, one for every available drone. And then between scene transitions each drone flies between their own pre-programmed locations, loaded as a individual flight plan in its controller hardware. To make sure the drones don't drift, the operators set up a groundbased transmitter system called RTK (real time kinematic) that uses a GPS-system to pinpoint the locations of each drone up to a few centimeters in precision from a basestation. This is then transmitted and each drone uses this data to correct deviations. Doing all this requires custom software that efficiently converts a scene into hundreds of individual flightplans (and some are more fancy allowing for elaborate animated scenes) and hardware modifications to skeletonize the terminals of an existing RTK system on the market, integrating them with the drone frames and sent its input into a drone's flight controller to be interpreted as corrections. Both steps are custom , proprietary solutions, which is why there are only a handful of drone show operators in the world to handful (for now). That and it costs quite a bit of money to buy and convert this many drones.

Dancing drones I had no idea they existed until this past 4th of July, will forever keep me in awe. They are incredibly beautiful. Take my breath away 🥹🤩 Congratulations 🎉 on the world records!

I am in total awe of this display. You'd have to have a genius type mind to put something like this together, and go so well. I would have enjoyed seeing this live. Very well job done.

Officially amazing!!!! Congrats Sky Elements team!!!

Congrats!!! That was amazing! The drones were choreographed beautifully. But the FPV quad shots really blew me away! Loved it!

Beautiful and what a great idea. Now that’s what you call talent. Merry Christmas. Congratulations you deserve that award 🥇

[@KewpieGirl]

I love it, congrats to these guys! I think Drone lights should replace fireworks for every special occasion. I mean expand more drone nightlights in every place because they're clean, safe, and zero-danger stuff.

[@Benliftgus]

No, fireworks are much cooler. Drones are just images in a sky

[@Kangaroo-Bob]

Agreed. Fireworks are boring compared to what drones can do

[@ivanoborny9285]

Extraction of raw materials, preparation of materials, production of 1500 drones, production of 1500 batteries and later recycling it all, not as ecological as it might seem. Even this soon becomes boring when the initial enthusiasm wears off.

[@rizizum]

@@ivanoborny9285 You're not throwing out the drones on each show. These things can probably do hundreds or thousands of shows

[@lolacookie453]

Agree! Fireworks are outdated, obnoxiously loud and traumatic for our vets/PTSD and animals.

[@alibaba44rob]

China has been doing this kind of show for many years. Good to see US finally catches up with some technical stuff

[@OrangeDurito]

This is amazing! Extremely well done on every aspect, including the video. Congratulations on your Guinness World Records!

[@mudskipper2234]

That was marvelous! Full of spectacles and excitement! You just draw a new line to a whole new drone magical shows! Salute to you all guys! Keep the up the good work! God bless you! Congratulations!! Watching from the Philippines!🎉😮

[@capicolaspicy]

Possibly the best use of drones I have ever seen in my life! Definitely worthy of two Guinness world records, you guys knocked it out of the park!

[@Fido-vm9zi]

Merry Christmas to all & to all a good night! Fantastic!

[@steelman86]

Absolutely amazing display! Kudos to the programmers who spent literally hundreds of hours to bring the display to fruition! Not only did they have the display in the air, but had several other drones flying and recording what we, the public got to see in their "birds eye" view!!! Congrats on breaking world records, you deserve it!! MERRY CHRISTMAS,!

What I like the most about this is that even the homeless people can experience the Christmas lights and vibes even those who are flying from a distance they see it....

[@-.._.-_...-_.._-..__..._.-.-.-]

What I like about it is that it's quiet, so those who prefer not to partake aren't forced to. Looking at you, fireworks! with your loud expulsions that trigger combat vets and terrify animals for miles. I imagine there is also far less potential for litter, fire and catastrophic accidents.
