Idea: Using MIT’s FlyFire

Via BldgBlog

Among other things, if you made these nodes emit non-visible parts of the spectrum, you could have giant floating stealth interfaces for presenting information that could rapidly dissolve as necessary. Kind of like the exploding secret note of the past but for a larger collective trying to accomplish shifting missions.

What’s really exciting about this is that its a flying, decentralized, mobile platform. If you have these things recharge directly from power lines, then you end up with a persistent swarm. Then it’s just a matter of what sensors and accessories you equip it with.
