Synchronized drone show at Tokyo olympics, very cool.

Intel is definitely in the game. I wonder if they will atually make a consumer drone for the masses?

Oh , by the way, I didn't know abou that link you talked about. I never clicked on it.

Well if it's not, then fine. The links provided early in the thread however came from a 'news' service that was shot through with ads and was headlined "The man behind the spectacular show has explained exactly how the 1824 drones across the night sky..." If you click on the link, agree to the cookies (of course) and fight your way through the ads you discover there is in fact no such explanation. That link was designed as click bait, even if the poster to this forum may not have been aware of that. So annoying.

If I was running a media campaign to promote this new type of entertainment and raise public awareness I would be targeting all manner of relevant (and not so relevent) forums and social media outlets to generate public interest. It seems very likely this forum (amongst many others) would be a place to help generate discussion. Companies get paid a lot of money to stimulate public awareness in his way.

The whole point of these exercises is that they are supposed to be indistinguishable from genuine forum chat. On that basis I said it was terrible.

So that's the end such an exercise would be put to.

Anyway, if it's not click-bait, then that's great and thanks for the interesting additional info. Although I would say the pronoun 'Intel' does seem to have appeared a good number of times so far. I'm certainly now in absolutely no doubt that the Intel Corporation are in the drone game

Yup, and Intel want DJI drone users to know it. My guess is you'll be hearing lots more about Intel's drones over the coming years. Of course, the fact that Intel is a US company and DJI is Chinese has nothing to do with the background to any of this at all.

Yeah, don't bother with the link. It's of zero interest.

It appears Intel (there it is again !!) isn't interested as yet in the consumer drone market, and with DJIs undeniable dominance, I imagine they will stick to their 2 (plus other future) specialised commercial drones, as per the other link somewhere.

FWIW, I didn't need to click any cookie agreement, nor did I see ads, perhaps it's the browser and blocker type things son has set up on this computer for me.

Is this click-bait? Looks a lot like this thread is part of an obviously contrived marketing strategy. If so, it’s terrible, try harder! If not, it is almost completely devoid of any useful info.

Paranoid much? I didnt even know who made the drones used in that video. I just put it out there so drone enthusiasts could see whats out there in drone tech and possibly be entertained. Weird to get such a response.

This is Europe. Here we have to click an acceptance agreement button before we can view a site. Not sure it's the same where you are. Basically, by clicking you're agreeing to a whole list of data and info on you and your browsing habits being uploaded to various companies. The only use they perform is to remind you that using the internet is a very long way from being cost-free.

IMO, most of them are... the reason I hardly ever click any

..
I'm sure looking back all the links on this thread have been to do with the drone show lighting, or what Intel are up to.
That's what this thread is / was about, nothing sinister at all going on.

Big Brother is alive and well over there, and true regarding the internet and your consumer info value.
It's how Google, Facebook, all the other such are multi billion $ companies.
