The same tech was recently used at Disney World:Here more on how Shooting Star works, via Wired:Each drone is about a foot long square, weighs just over eight ounces, and sports a plastic and foam body to soften inadvertent impacts. They arenrsquo;t as flashy as consumer quadcopters, which is just as well, because yoursquo;re not supposed to notice them.
