Abstract

Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have become increas-ingly vital in the recent times. They have managed to find their sweet spot in rigor-ous and sensitive arena of military, agro-based applications, logistics, and supply chain and in observation and security. This sophisticated equipment has found its fancy uses too. In areas like DIY hobby crafts, amateur and professional pho-tography, race tracks, drones sports etc. In recent times one of the best uses that the users could make out of drones was swarm drones show. Be it local festivals or national events swarm drones show are a delight to witness. Show like these are now on their nascent phase and have huge potential. Moreover, they are eco-friendly when compared to the fire crackers. Drones, due to their small size and high maneuverability provides a great wide coverage view of any large area. This enables the user to get a detailed holographic view of the entire space. The possi-bilities of integration of drones with the meta-verse are literally infinite and would definitely add so much of dimensions of usage. In order to harness these capa-bilities, the ...
