Intel has been working for a while to show how its chips can be used to create airborne displays based on drones that are flying to become individual pixels based on RGB LEDs. Now the company has beaten its own world record for the number of drones, with a display using a single notebook to control 500 of the Intel Shooting Star drones.

The drones can fly for around 20 minutes.
