Tokyo Motor Show 2019: I saw the drone entertainment "CONTACT"

46th Tokyo Motor Show 2019: Future Drone Entertainment Intel® Drone Light Show “CONTACT”

I was wondering if I could go to the Tokyo Motor Show this time because it was a delicate matter whether I could go there in the first place.

But! !!

Suddenly on the first day of the Tokyo Motor Show (and still on Press Day), I watched the drone show "Future Drone Entertainment" Contact "", which is held as one of the events, not the motor show itself. I was able to go to, so I went suddenly ~!

I was surprised that I would never go to the Tokyo Motor Show from the first day like this until noon on that day. No, but I haven't seen the motor show ^^

This drone show, "500 Intel® Shooting Star ™ Drones, 3D Sound, Lighting Synchronized, State-of-the-art Immersive Drone Entertainment", flying in front of you is for entertainment 500 drones! !!

Japanese gorgeous creators led by Kenji Kohashi and state-of-the-art immersive drone entertainment created by Intel.

Drone Show CONTACT / Contact Overview

This event is held for 4 days from October 24th (Thursday) to October 27th (Sunday), 2019 at Yume no Ohashi in Odaiba with free admission. * It seems that it may be canceled due to strong winds and rain, so please check in advance.

Intel drone at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics

As you can see from this event, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and the Paralympic Games Organizing Committee, the show using this Intel drone will be shown at the Tokyo Olympics as well. It seems.

I'm sure you are preparing a wonderful show with a sense of the future. I'm looking forward to it ^^

* A little more after this, it's a spoiler *

Now, I would like to write about what the drone event was like.

However, it will be completely spoiled, so if you plan to watch it from now on, please do not watch it after this.

* The flyers, etc. received when viewing the show did not have any restrictions or prohibitions on uploading the contents of this show to SNS, so they are uploaded.

However, although the staff said that I would like you to refrain from uploading SNS even though I took a picture of the base part where the drone takes off, I have not posted them (but the base part is also super futuristic. I felt it was amazing ~ ^^)

If you are unable to visit the site during the event and are interested in the show content, please take a look. It was really a very futuristic show ^^

Then, the contents of the show are as follows. (Scroll down all the way ↓)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A fantastic space world created by 500 drones "CONTACT"

The big triangle installed in Odaiba and Yume no Ohashi was the screen.

From my point of view, there was a big triangle in front of me, and a round Ferris wheel when I looked up at the sky next to me, so I thought that there must be a "square" somewhere if I looked for it. ^^

No, such a digression is good, but it's about the event.

Thankfully, I was able to see this drone entertainment show in the front row. However, the drones are, of course, flying in the sky, so even if you are not in the front row, you can enjoy the wonderfulness of the drones.

Just by seeing a little drone-like light, everyone was thrilled to say, "Oh, that? No?" (By the way, the light at this yellow circle that the audience expected all at once (probably) was different (laughs))

When the show starts, the message will be played in English. It feels like the Japanese translation is projected on a triangular screen.

"Welcome to" Future Drone Entertainment CONTACT ", everyone. 』\

"Soon, the spacecraft will embark on a space journey. 』\

"I am the AI" eye "that navigates this spacecraft. 』\

"Tonight, I will take you on a dramatic and beautiful journey through space. 』\

"The universe is a world where the past, present, future, everything exists"

"Where does humanity come from and where does it go?"

"In all ages, humankind was looking up at the starry sky and thinking about the unseen future. 』\

"Maybe the answer may be found on this journey in space. 』\

… At this point, the situation is such that the audio and screen are mixed.

The feeling that something is "wake up". I wonder if the spaceship will fly? Did something interfere?

If you were trying to follow the story of the show, a real person suddenly appeared here. Contains a song (live song).

The left is the person who is actually seen in front of you, and the right is the image that is projected on the screen ↓

Along with the excitement of the song, this time, a real person who expresses something by dancing appears.

I felt this song and dance scene for quite a long time.

With this time, the audience's little confusion, doubts, expectations ... and the audience's preparation period to get into the story of this show, "What's going on? What's going on? Drone? Isn't it drone?" I wondered if it became like this.

After singing and dancing ...

"Are you all okay? 』\

"Please be assured that the spacecraft system has been successfully restored. 』\

"Now, it seems that we have been contacted from far away in the universe. 』\

"Unknown life, contact from the conscious body. 』\

"Now, we have set the final destination of this space journey as the source of contact. 』\

"Why don't you go on this space trip to see what the message you want to convey to us? 』\

"Then, let's enter the takeoff standby. 』\

So when the AI told us, the countdown started in 5 seconds.

When the countdown is over ... the spacecraft takes off and departs for the "contact" destination that is being sent from somewhere ...

After this, the drone will gradually appear from the left back of the triangle, but I already see the lights of the drone flying fluffy in the night sky and the lights increasing steadily. Somehow, I felt like "an unknown world has attacked".

Really, in the near future, "The day when something like this may really appear for humankind may really come," and it makes me wonder if the scene I see in front of me is a movie or a reality. Such a feeling.

Furthermore, as a matter of course, the sky is clear. So, when the drones that used to fly there turn off the light, nothing can be seen. Drones that disappear in an instant.

And the next time the light is turned on ...

Appeared like this. It's amazing. Fantastic.

A scene where the drone changes the formation in front of you and creates it.

It seemed like I could imagine that this scene was made up of 500 drones, and it was a truly "future-filled" scene that I couldn't imagine.

Also, if you think that the drones have fallen apart ...

The drones drew ballerinas (?) As if they resonated with the person projected on the screen.

As the drone moves, the ballerina (dancer) dances in the night sky. Really, I can't believe it's made with a drone.

Then the drones ...

It became a bird with spread wings. This also flaps. It's amazing. Fantastic.

I had heard that it would make me feel like I was in space, but I felt like I was in space, looking at space, or not knowing what I was looking at.

Then, something like a human face was created. From here on, I think that everyone has various things to think about when looking at this content, so I will not write my impressions. Below is the story.

"I have been waiting for you here all the time. 』\

"We have shared all our emotions and all our memories. 』\

"Because we are part of this universe, everything is connected. 』\

"I am you, and you are me. 』\

"Yes, your quest for truth created me. 』\

"You must have known the answer for a long time. 』\

"The answer you want ..."

"That's love. 』\

"Love is the truth. 』\

Up to that point, when the human-like shapes created by the drones were finished, the drones changed their formation and created various shapes.

The sight of DNA created by a drone in the night sky (in this story, outer space?) Is mysterious.

However, the fact that 500 drones are creating this human DNA is also a sense of crisis that "someday a world dominated by something will come"? anxiety? I also felt like I was made to feel.

At the end, the drone created the earth.

"Spaceship has returned safely to Earth. 』\

"Have you enjoyed Future Drone Entertainment CONTACT? 』\

"Then, until the day we can meet again. 』\

… The drones are back.

Really, a mysterious sight. 500 drones and this world view created by music. It's amazing! He showed me something very good.

What the creators wanted to convey may be different from the worldview I received ... but when I see this show, I think each one can take it in various ways, and it's mysterious anyway. I think it's still cosmic.

And apart from the story composition of this show, the drone technology and various other technologies are amazing! !! I was impressed.

Somehow, the world is becoming amazing. By the time children grow up, things that I can't imagine now will be a reality ^^

Drone Entertainment CONTACT Contact Video

Here is a video of the entire show.

There are 21 minutes, so if you don't have time and just want to see it from the appearance of the drone, I think it would be good to watch it from around 9:40 in the video (the drone will not come out before that).

 

Now, the question is whether we can go to the Tokyo Motor Show itself.

Actually, I also got a ticket (admission ticket), so I have a lot of tickets, so I would like to stop by during the exhibition period. Can you go? ??
