Last night (September 14) in Los Angeles, people looked to the sky above Dodger Stadium to witness an illuminated display celebrating comic book superheroes. But this isn't a distress call from the Bat, but a fleet of 300 ignited drones executing choreographed moves that spell out Wonder Woman's trademark "W" symbol.
The dynamic light show was produced by Warner Bros. in collaboration with the Intel Drone Team. According to the US "Daily Telegraph" report on September 19, the movie called "Wonder Woman" will be released this year. When it is released on Blu-ray in the United States on Tuesday (September 19), the Intel LED equipped with the "Meteor" drone will become the star of the aerial show. According to TechCrunch, the Meteor drone also played a dramatic role during singer Lady Gaga's 2017 Super Bowl halftime show on February 5. [Beyond Wonder Woman: 12 Powerful Female Warriors]
The spectacular shapes of the aerial drone include a three-dimensional Wonder Woman belt, as well as the silhouette of Wonder Woman's "W" and kneeling with a sword.
"Wonder Woman" director Patty Jenkins tweeted, showing members of Intel's "drone team" preparing the meteor and calibrating the software that controls its coordinated flight pattern.
Footage of a computer screen used by the drone team shows animated models of the Meteor fleet as the aircraft move into position - a sight that is echoed overhead by real drones flying into the night sky.
The Meteor drone is a lightweight quadcopter made of foam and plastic, weighing approximately 12 ounces (330 grams). Intel designed them to carry LEDs and put on a light show, potentially creating more than 4 billion color combinations based on combinations of red, green, white and blue, according to a product introduction from Intel.
The included proprietary software and animated interface allow users to not only coordinate hundreds of color combinations, but also make complex designs of aerial light displays a reality, according to Intel. The drone completes tasks quickly time after time. much faster than in the past.
In 2016, Intel set a world record for the number of drones controlled by a single pilot using a laptop, designing 500 Meteor drones in a fireworks-like display at a sports field in Klelin, Germany. Man-machine.
