Intel Shooting Star drones made history at the opening ceremony of PyeongChang 2018, with the Winter Olympics’ first-ever drone light show that also set a Guinness World Records title for the most unmanned aerial vehicles airborne, simultaneously. The world record flight was prerecorded for the event.
The show surpassed Intel’s previous record of 500 drones flown simultaneously in Germany in 2016. The company designed and developed custom animations for the opening ceremony and nightly victory ceremony performances, which include animations of different sports and various Olympic-related logos, including the formation of the iconic Olympic rings.
