Visualization and Art of Sports using a Drone

－Light Painting drawn by Traces of Figure Skating－

Abstract

We are studying the visualization of sports and exploring its art. As a part of this, we will visualize figure skating and aim to create a light painting based on it. Specifically, the skating of figure skating is simulated by a drone equipped with LED lights, and a light painting with the sky as a canvas is created based on the trajectory. For this reason, a drone program that simulates the technique of figure skating, such as a triple axel, is implemented and combined. This research is a unique attempt to fuse sports and art, not only to expand the application area of drones, but also to propose a new expression method of visualization.
