Those amazing flying machines

Last year, Intel partnered with Lady Gaga on the Super Bowl Halftime Show to showcase its latest aerial technology called "Shooting Star." Intel did a reprise performance of its Shooting Star technology for Singapore's 52nd birthday this past week. Instead of fireworks, the tech-savvy country celebrated its National Day Parade with a swarm of 300 LED drones animating the night sky with shapes, logos, and even a map of the country. Intel's global drone chief, Anil Nanduri, explained, "There's considerably more operational complexity in handling a 300 drone fleet, compared with 100 drones in a show. You may be able to juggle three, but if you juggle nine, you may have to throw them higher and faster to get more time."
