At CES 2018, Intel set a new Guinness World Records* title for Most UAVs airborne simultaneously from a single computer indoors when it flew 100 Intel Shooting Star Mini drones as part of an indoor drone light show on Sunday (7 January).
The Intel Shooting Star Mini drone is the company’s first drone designed and built from the ground up to enable indoor light show experiences. It is designed with safety and creativity in mind with a super-lightweight structure and propeller guards. Its light source can create more than 4-billion colour combinations designed for aerial displays.
This drone is the counterpart to the Intel Shooting Star drone that has been illuminating the night skies around the world at music festivals like Coachella, marquee sporting events, celebrations across Asia and more.
The new Intel Indoor Location System powering the Intel Shooting Star Mini drones expands Intel’s possibilities for entertainment by allowing the drones to maintain position and navigate indoors without GPS to create beautiful drone light shows.
Intel previously set a Guinness World Records title when the company flew 500 Intel Shooting Star drones simultaneously on 7 October 2016, outdoors in Hamburg, Germany. In doing so, it beat its own previous record of 100 drones in less than a year.
