Earth-Shaped Drone Display at Tokyo 2020 Olympics Opening Ceremony

In a combination of technology and beauty, more than 1,800 drones came together for a one-of-a-kind choreographed light show at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony.

The drones (the exact number charted at 1,824) morphed into multiple shapes, including the Tokyo 2020 logo and a spinning recreation of the globe. The Tokyo sky was lit up in a unique array of lights and colors during the two-minute display at the Opening Ceremony.

The Intel Premium drones – weighing just 340 grams, less than three-quarters of a pound – are specifically designed for entertainment purposes and are equipped with four LEDs that emit light that is true to colour and unmatched in brightness and vibrancy. Real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS also enables increased positional accuracy for higher resolution animations, sharper imagery and more dynamic 3D animations.

This array surpasses that of the light show during the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic Games, which saw a display of about 1,200 drones and set a then-Guinness World Record for the most unmanned aerial vehicles simultaneously in the sky.
