A system including a drone having a projector to project an image from a projection origin. The drone also has a navigation unit to determine location information for the drone. A processor coupled to the drone includes a memory. Execution of programming by the processor configures the system to obtain a projection surface architecture for a projection surface. The projection surface architecture includes reference points that correspond to physical locations on the projection surface. Each reference point is associated with relationship data with respect to an architecture origin. The system also receives location information for the drone, adapts the relationship data responsive to change in the location information, adjusts the image using the adapted relationship data, and projects the adjusted image onto the projection surface.

Systems, devices, and methods for drone pairing are disclosed. Drones may be paired by configuring each of a first drone and a second drone in a drone pairing mode, establishing physical contact between the first drone and the second drone while in the drone pairing mode, determining an acceleration parameter for each of the first drone and the second drone related to the physical contact between the first drone and the second drone, comparing the determined acceleration parameter of the first drone and the determined acceleration parameter of the second drone to identify a match, and pairing the first drone and the second drone in response to the identified match between the compared acceleration parameters of the first and second drones.

Systems, devices, and methods for presenting information in the sky using drones are disclosed. The presentation of information includes navigating one or more drones to locations in the sky where the locations are associated with an image, emitting light signals at the locations, capturing the light signals with a user device, processing the captured signals to identify the image, capturing a background image including at least one of the locations associated with the image, and presenting simultaneously, on the user device, the identified image and the background image.
