Marking the end of a longtime tradition, the Fourth of July celebration at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena will not feature a fireworks show this year. Instead, there will be a drone show. The move comes as some venues have switched from fireworks to drone shows -- in which a fleet of drones performs a choreographed light show -- to celebrate the 4th of July. But drone shows have fallen flat for some. Notably Redondo Beach and Laguna Beach switched back to fireworks after trying out drone shows, and some promoters of fireworks shows have voiced criticism over efforts to transition to drone shows.

A facial recognition company recorded data on tens of thousands of fans at this year's Rose Bowl game in Pasadena. Tech company VSBLTY set up four cameras around the stadium, specifically targeting areas where'Fan Fest' activities were taking place, and logged the identity of more than 30,000 fans that passed by. The company used an AI-driven product called Vector, which features a digital display with a domed camera placed beneath it that VSBLTY says embodies'the intersection of marketing and security.' Facial recognition company VSBLTY tested its new product called Vector at the 2020 Rose Bowl game in Pasadena, using video monitors placed in the'Fan Fest' area outside the stadium with cameras discretely placed underneath The displays can be programmed to show replays or commercials meant to attract the eye of passersby, something that also conveniently encourages people to give the camera a less obstructed view of their face.
