NTT Docomo is the world's first spherical lighting UAV

In the Lady Gaga's Super Bowl halftime show earlier this year, 300 Intel Shooting Star drones lit up the night sky behind her. The scene was spectacular. But it's not easy to control hundreds of drones by computer. On Tuesday, NTT Docomo, a Japanese telecoms giant, unveiled a solution that looks like a very good light drone.

NTT Docomo says the unmanned aerial vehicle is the world's first spherical lighting uav. Structurally, it consists of a spherical outer frame and an internal LED frame, with eight bendable LED strips extending from the top to the bottom.

The diameter of the sphere frame is about 88 cm (about 34.5 inches), and the whole UAV is equipped with a weight of only 3.4 kilograms. The LED display has a resolution of 144136, with a two arm UAV protruding from the bottom.

During flight, the LED frame spins rapidly, creating an illusion of solid images. NTT Docomo says drones are highly mobile and can operate almost anywhere, such as displaying ads on a concert hall or stage, or even as part of a show.
