Flying robots & immersive installations · Family-owned since 2007
Motion becomes emotion.
We bring spaces to life: autonomous flying, kinetic and robotic experiences that move through real space, react to people and create moments visitors feel, remember and share.

We create what comes next
Never done before. Never seen before. Never forgotten.
Beyond the screen.
We bring immersive storytelling beyond screens, projections and digital media, into the real 3D space around the visitor. Flying, kinetic and robotic objects move through the room, appear above and around people, react to them and become part of the story.
Into the space nobody uses.
Atriums, lobbies, ceilings, audience areas, the air between people. Instead of limiting the experience to a screen or a stage, the entire environment becomes part of what happens.
Starting with one question.
We begin with the space, the story and one question: what could happen here that people have never experienced before?
From audience to participant
The best experiences don’t just perform. They respond.
Our objects react to movement, gestures, positions and whole groups. A visitor approaches an object, and the object approaches them. Suddenly they are no longer watching. They are part of the experience.

Proven in the real world
Extraordinary for visitors. Reliable for operators.
Our systems are not built for demonstrations or opening nights only. They are designed for daily operation, and after installation and training your own team runs the show. Spectacular doesn’t have to mean complicated.

Selected experiences
Created around the space, the story and the audience.
- Flying Fish at the Xi’an Science and Technology Museum Three giant autonomous fish swim through a 20,000 m³ atrium every day — the largest indoor flying show in the world, and a Guinness World Record.
- Autonomous Flying Fish at the Museum of the Future Silver fish drift above the crowds in one of the most photographed buildings on earth.
- “Drifter” — A Floating Concrete Monolith on World Tour Five concrete monoliths float silently above the audience. The flying technology behind Studio Drift’s acclaimed touring artwork.
- “AI Blossom” at Experimenta Science Center Artificial flowers that sense and respond to visitors — and a golden sphere that rises from a 3.2-metre blossom and floats through the hall.
- A Flying Car in the Marvel Avengers Show at Disneyland Paris A car flies over the stage while the Avengers fight below — five shows a day, up to 5,000 guests daily.
- +/- Human at the Roundhouse, London Seven orbs choose people from the crowd and respond to them — with dancers of The Royal Ballet.
- The Birth of the Solar System — Future Energy Expo Opening Eighteen flying planets, a 30-metre screen and seventeen heads of state in the audience.
- Flying Lanterns at Lotte World Adventure Sixteen glowing lanterns flew a 20-minute choreography every night in the world’s largest indoor theme park — from 2013 to 2019.

Why SkySpirit
One partner. From impossible idea to daily operation.
Original experiences
We create around your story, your venue and your audience, rather than reselling the same installation again and again.
Everything in-house
Flying objects, kinetic systems, robotics, software, tracking, interaction, media and choreography: designed and built by one team in Stuttgart, as one experience.
Built for real venues
Our systems are engineered for permanent installations, repeated shows and daily operation.
Your team can run it
After commissioning and training, normal operation is managed locally. You don’t need us permanently on site.
Almost 20 years of experience
Our work combines creativity with deep experience in robotics, automation and autonomous systems.
The technology behind the magic
The magic is invisible.
Behind every movement is a combination of autonomous control, tracking, sensors, embedded intelligence and interaction software, with SkyTrack, our own tracking and control system, at its core.
We choose the technology around the experience we want to create. Not the other way around.

How we work together
From first idea to living experience.
- 01
Imagine
What should visitors see, feel and remember? You don’t need a brief, just a conversation about your space.
- 02
Create
We develop the experience around your space, story and audience. You see it all before we build a thing.
- 03
Build
Objects, software, interaction and choreography are engineered as one system in our Stuttgart workshop.
- 04
Bring it to life
We install, commission and test the complete experience on site.
- 05
Hand it over
Your team is trained to operate the installation independently.
Typically 3–6 months from first contact to your opening.
What clients say
What people say after the first flight.
“SkySpirit has been an outstanding partner. Fast and reliable delivery, consistently high service standards, and genuine collaboration rather than plain execution. They listen, they follow through, and they make complex work feel simple. I’m glad we chose to work with them.”
