If each unit is a pixel or a few pixels, you need hundreds or thousands flying all together, and able to hold station in the wind, imagine recovering them all for charging, loss from crashes...etc.</p><p>If you want a mobile aerial display it would be much cheaper and easier to do something like what was used in the opening of the Winter Olympics.
