So, what is it?
It's voxels, but it's beyond that.
We call it the Spaxels, the Space picture elements.
We start a completely new string of visualization and science.
Using this flying light dots, we now have an instrument
which we can use to "build" buildings that don't exist yet into their real position.
To show what the building is going to look like.
If you want to fly indoors, you need a more precise trackingsystem, and this is what's being installed right now.
We want faster, more precise flying formations
It's a radio-based positioning system
So it can be used both indoor and outdoor.
The system is very flexible.
You can use it anywhere you want and get very precise data in a small room.
The whole system is built like this:
You have receivers and transmitters. You position the receivers around an area.
The transmitters, the mobile devices, are with the quadrocopters (or athletes).
The system is used in football, handball, iceskating.
But you can use it to 3d-locate flying objects.
If you have a lot of metal and reflexions, the positioning is getting a little bit less precise.
In football outdoors you can pinpoint a location as precise as 3 - 5 cm.
Indoors it's about 10 to 15 cm.
It all depends on the reference-transponder.
The possible radius away from it is about 1km.
So without any obstacles this is as far as you can go.
The receivers have to have a direct line of sight to the reference.
We want to use the drones to draw in the sky, reacting to existing obstacles.
Suddenly it's possible to do things that have been untaught of before.
One vision of course is to walk into the swarm of the drones.
In Science Fiction, we have a name for this: Holodeck.
Of course the technique is still some years away. But the concept is ready.
A fantastic future.
