Users React to the Drone Show

One user said: "Imagine if we could permanently have drones make holographic 3D advertisements in the sky like that running at night, give information to people, the temperature, the time, air quality, Modi's realtime message to people etc. It would make fixed structures obsolete! Brands are already using drones for advertising."

Another reacted: "Flipkart announced its Big Billion Day sale with a drone show, while some brands have even displayed QR codes in the sky for people to download their apps. Truly, the sky is the limit."
