Technology

The magic has a system.

Behind every magical moment is technology designed to make the extraordinary possible.

SkyTrack is our proprietary tracking and control technology. It knows where every object is, with millimetre-level precision when required, and enables autonomous movements, complex choreographies and intelligent interactions — individually or in a swarm.

We develop our core technologies in-house, from cameras, electronics and embedded systems to tracking software and intelligent control. This gives us the freedom to adapt our systems to different objects, environments and creative visions.

With over 20 years of experience in real-world installations, we know how to make sophisticated technology work reliably — even in challenging environments.

Engineered for the Extraordinary. Proven in the Real World.

100 m
Long-Range Tracking
Cameras can operate at distances of up to 100 metres from the objects they track, depending on the setup and required precision.
Swarms
Many Objects. One Intelligent System.
Coordinate multiple autonomous objects simultaneously, each following its own path while moving together in precise formations.
In sync
Everything Works Together.
Synchronise autonomous movement with projections, moving lights, sound, sensors and visitor interactions to create complete experiences.
Real-WorldProven
Beyond the Laboratory.
Developed through years of experience in museums, theme parks and complex buildings — including environments with challenging architecture, airflow, ventilation and lighting conditions.

How It Works. In Three Steps.

01 — SEE
Knowing exactly where everything is.
Our camera-based tracking technology determines the position and orientation of objects in real time, providing up to six degrees of freedom (6D).
From a single flying sculpture to an entire swarm, SkyTrack provides the spatial awareness required for precise autonomous movement.
02 — DECIDE
Intelligence behind every movement.
Up to 160 times per second, our control software processes tracking information, coordinates choreographies and responds to interactions and changing conditions.
With SkyControl, we can create complex movements, synchronise multiple objects and integrate sensors, gestures and visitor behaviour.
This transforms predefined performances into experiences that can react to the people around them.
03 — MOVE
Bringing objects to life.
Intelligent onboard electronics turn control commands into smooth, natural movements — through wings, fins, propellers, wheels and other mechanisms.
Whether flying, driving or moving kinetically, our autonomous systems combine precision engineering with creative freedom.
The result is technology that visitors don’t notice. They simply experience the magic.

Our own aircraft

Light enough to fly over your visitors.

Tracking tells an object where it is. Flying it above a crowd is a different problem — so we build the aircraft too.

We develop ultralight drones ourselves — airframe, motors and electronics designed as one thing — because a light, quiet machine is what lets an installation live above people instead of behind a barrier.

The same work goes into the objects that look nothing like drones. Our flying fish move on fins and our birds on wings — no propellers at all — which is why a museum can run them over its visitors every day of the year.

Ultralight
Where safety starts.
Airframe and electronics are designed as one thing, so every gram that has not earned its place comes out. A light object carries less energy.
Quiet
Quieter than you expect.
Some move on wings or fins and make almost no sound at all. The rest are far quieter than their size suggests — people look up because something moved, not because it was loud.
Over people
Built for rooms full of people.
Made to fly above a live audience and do it again tomorrow, with the safety concept worked out with the venue long before the first flight.

Designed for Real Spaces. Built on Real Experience.

Every building is different. Architecture, ceiling height, ventilation, air currents, lighting and visitor movement all influence how autonomous objects perform.

With over two decades of experience across a wide range of buildings and installations worldwide, we understand these challenges and engineer our systems accordingly.

Our tracking systems are scalable and configured to suit the individual environment. For example, approximately 8 cameras can cover a 40 m × 40 m × 40 m volume, depending on camera positioning, visibility, environmental conditions and the required tracking accuracy.

At The Shed in New York, we flew five autonomous Drifters simultaneously using this type of tracking configuration.

From temporary events to permanent installations, we combine creative ambition with practical engineering experience — because extraordinary experiences need technology that works in the real world.

Two Solutions. One Powerful System.

The Right Tracking for Every Experience.

From portable event setups to permanent high-precision installations, SkyTrack adapts to your vision and your space.

Both SkyTrack GO and SkyTrack PRO are scalable camera-based tracking solutions. Starting with just a few cameras, coverage can be expanded according to the size, architecture and requirements of the installation.

SkyTrack PRO

Precision That Brings Every Detail to Life.

1–3 mm

Marker Tracking
Permanent Installations

When every millimetre counts, SkyTrack PRO delivers the precision needed for complex autonomous experiences.

Using advanced camera-based tracking and small markers on each object, SkyTrack PRO enables highly accurate positioning, sophisticated choreographies and coordinated movements. Whether flying objects move in synchronised swarms, interact with projections or respond to visitors, SkyTrack PRO makes movements feel seamless, natural and alive.

Key Features

How It Tracks — Small markers on each object, read by the cameras.
Millimetre-Level Precision — Typical tracking accuracy of 1–3 mm under suitable conditions.
Complex Choreographies — Coordinate multiple objects, formations and individual flight paths.
Precise Synchronisation — Integrate movement with projections, lighting, sound and show systems.
Scalable Coverage — Adapt camera configurations to different building sizes and architectural conditions.
Long-Term Reliability — Developed for permanent installations and regular daily operation.

Ideal for

Theme parks, art and science museums, permanent installations, interactive exhibitions, immersive environments and sophisticated live performances.

SkyTrack PRO — Where Precision Creates Magic.

SkyTrack GO

Professional Tracking. Anywhere.
