Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism collaborates with Colorado-based Nova Sky Stories to bring the world’s largest drone light show to Abu Dhabi. Nova Sky Stories has already set records with its drone technology (such as the Guinness World Record for largest number of drones flown as part of one event), and you may have seen Nova’s work during recent Olympics ceremonies and at the Super Bowl.

 

The planned Abu Dhabi synchronized drone performances will take place at various “iconic locations” and use drone technology and immersive storytelling to reflect the emirate’s heritage. Shows will include 10,000 high-tech light-show drones.

At the intersection of creativity and entertainment, this partnership with Nova Sky and [physical intelligence and mixed reality company] Analog will challenge convention, raising the bar for what residents and visitors can experience…”
