In Chinain the imposing city of Shanghaia video game development company carried out a show the drones which ended with a figure of a QR code in the night sky, so people could scan. They were used 1.500 unmanned aircraft.
The event was to commemorate the first anniversary of the video game Princess Connect Re: Dive. The show began with the drones making figures linked to the game, forming characters, for example. Everything ended with the giant QR code that viewers scanned with their cell phones to access a link with more information that allowed downloading the video game.
The event was organized by the most popular video game, anime and manga platform in China, called Bilibili, who programmed the drones to form the code. It is not the first time that the company has held an event of this type to promote its products. Last year the company placed a gigantic QR code in the building where it has its offices for the launch of the game.
Princess Connect Re: Dive It’s a role-playing game iOS y Android. It was launched 3 years ago in Japan, in China, in April 2020, and globally in January 2021.
It is not the first time that the sky of Shanghai has had a spectacle of this type with drones. The city has become an epicenter of this type of events. On March 29, a shocking show was held 3.281 drones that became a new Guinness record.
With the demonstration of different synchronized figures in the air, a new car brand was launched for the Asian market. On that occasion, the brand’s campaign record Genesis surpassed the previous one Shenzhen Damoda Intelligent Control Technology that used 3.051 drones at a show on September 20 last year. Previously, in 2018, the record took place in Pyeongchang in the Winter Olympic Games using 1.218 drones.
In the latter case, the devices drew the classic Olympic rings in the sky, among other figures. This show was not performed live, at the time of the ceremony, but was recorded to ensure that there were no errors, and that the sky and weather conditions were optimal.
The last show of the 3.281 drones set the record for greater number of “unmanned aerial vehicles in the air simultaneously”. The show, also held in the port of Shanghai, showed figures with perfect synchronization, and without no collision.
Thus, this type of visual spectacle begins to gain momentum over the years, especially in competitions and exhibitions. To make this type of show possible (do they replace fireworks?) 3D animation programs are used to create the show, and each drone works as if it were a pixel of the image that will be seen in the sky.
For synchronization, their location with respect to the other is not used, but rather each one flies individually controlled by a single computer, but programmed in a particular way. The role of each drone is designated before beginning the flights, and it depends on the state of charge and the GPS signal of each one, how its performance will be in the air.
The battery life of the devices varies depending on models and brands, but it is usually, in these cases, about 20 minutes (or a little more) in ideal weather conditions (without cold, snow or extreme winds).
