Shooting Star (drone)

The Shooting Star is a quadcopter drone designed for light shows by Intel. It is constructed of polystyrene and lightweight plastics; and it has built-in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for display purposes.[1] Large numbers of Shooting Star drones can be controlled by a single computer and operator that can create more than four billion color combinations from the built-in LEDs, with the system's algorithms controlling the choreography and optimizing the flight paths.[1] In 2022, Intel sold the division to Nova Sky Stories.[2]
