Early large-scale displays showed both the visual appeal and the reliability of technologies like GPS timing, collision avoidance, and centralized choreography systems. Adoption happened in two ways: OEMs and integrators built fleets and platforms for specific purposes, and specialist operators provided full production services for events and brands. Regulatory frameworks, especially FAA rules on night operations, Remote ID, and waivers, shaped growth by setting safety and operational standards.
