Synchronized Spectacular

Two short summers ago, Rio de Janeiro hosted the 2016 Summer Olympics when Russia won the duet and team Synchronized Swimming events.  This year during the opening ceremony, Korean snowboarders expertly rode down the slope in choreographed synchronization.  Ask any Olympian – synchronization is harder than it looks, and its not just for the Olympic competitors any more.

This year an Intel team, based in Folsom, wowed the world with synchronized drones during the Opening Ceremony.  More than 1200 Intel Shooting StarTM drones delighted a billion people with their synchronized dance creating the Olympic Rings above the venue.  It was inspiring.  If you happened to be in Folsom last November, you might have seen Intel testing these drones in preparation for the Olympics.  Kudos to the Intel team for blending technology and art into synchronized perfection.  People will be talking about this for years!
