METHODS AND APPARATUS TO CREATE DRONE DISPLAYS

1 - 28 . (canceled)

29 . A drone display design genie, comprising:

an audience configuration definer to receive an input representing a configuration of an audience from a user; and

a drone display designer to, by executing an instruction with a processor, design a drone display to present content to the audience based on the input.

30 . The drone display design genie of claim 29 , wherein the drone display designer is to, by executing an instruction with a processor, design the drone display using parameter optimization.

31 . The drone display design genie of claim 30 , wherein using the parameter optimization includes at least one of a stochastic gradient descent, or the Euler-Lagrange differential equation.

32 . The drone display design genie of claim 29 , wherein the drone display designer is to, by executing an instruction with a processor, design the drone display by identifying a geometry that increases a number of audience members viewing the drone display at a perpendicular angle to the drone display.

33 . The drone display design genie of claim 29 , wherein the drone display designer is to:

identify two drone display options; and

receive a second input from the user selecting one of the two drone display options.

34 . The drone display design genie of claim 29 , wherein the drone display designer is to:

receive a second input representing a change to the drone display; and

modify the drone display according to the second input.

35 . The drone display design genie of claim 29 , wherein the drone display designer is to design the drone display for a first portion of the audience, and design a second drone display to present the content to a second portion of the audience based on the input.

36 . The drone display design genie of claim 29 , further including:

a flight planner to allocate portions of the content to respective drones of the drone display; and

a flight controller to fly the drones to form the drone display, and to present the content on the drone display.

37 . A method, comprising:

receiving an input representing a configuration of an audience from a user; and

performing parameter optimization to design a drone display to present content to the audience based on the input.

38 . The method of claim 37 , wherein performing the parameter optimization includes at least one of a stochastic gradient descent, or the Euler-Lagrange differential equation.

39 . The method of claim 37 , wherein designing the drone display including identifying a geometry that increases a number of audience members viewing the drone display at a perpendicular angle to the drone display.

40 . The method of claim 37 , wherein designing the drone display includes:

identify two drone display options; and

receive a second input from the user selecting one of the two drone display options.

41 . The method of claim 37 , wherein designing the drone display includes designing the drone display for a first portion of the audience, and designing a second drone display for a second portion of the audience.

42 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to:

receive an input representing a configuration of an audience from a user;

design a drone display to present content to the audience based on the input;

allocate portions of the content to respective drones of the drone display; and

fly the drones to form the drone display, and to present the content on the drone display.

43 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 42 , including instructions that, when executed, cause the machine to design the drone display using parameter optimization.

44 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 43 , including instructions that, when executed, cause the machine to perform the parameter optimization using at least one of a stochastic gradient descent, or the Euler-Lagrange differential equation.

45 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 42 , including instructions that, when executed, cause the machine to design the drone display by identifying a geometry that increases a number of audience members viewing the drone display at a perpendicular angle to the drone display.

46 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 42 , including instructions that, when executed, cause the machine to:

identify two drone display options; and

receive a second input from the user selecting one of the two drone display options.

47 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 42 , including instructions that, when executed, cause the machine to design the drone display for a first portion of the audience, and designing a second drone display for a second portion of the audience.
