That is crazy!  Imagine an outdoor venue like a concert or a football game.

Yes would be nice  :)

But i think the army is more enthusiastic about this toys . Hard to shot down  and can fly nearly anywhere without being easily spotted .
Put some kind of a gun (biological , chemical or so) and it is ready to go  :(

Imagine this as nano tech for spying, reconnaissance, and battlefield updates. Then think of safer streets, concerts, and large events. It's scary and reassuring both.

Then think of the display capability for 3D art. I am all for it!
