1. A computer system for receiving and responding to virtual forces enacted on a drone, comprising:

  • one or more processors; and

    one or more computer-readable media having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors configure the computer system to perform at least the following;

    receive, at a first drone, a second virtual object location, wherein the second virtual object location comprises an indication of a spatial location of a second virtual object;

    determine that a location of the first drone is a threshold distance from the second virtual object location;

    determine a first drone operating characteristic associated with the first drone;

    identify a second virtual object operating characteristic associated with the second virtual object;

    calculate a virtual impact strength and virtual impact direction exerted on the first drone based upon the first drone operating characteristic and the second virtual object operating characteristic; and

    communicate one or more control signals to motors of the first drone to integrate the virtual impact strength and virtual impact direction into a movement of the first drone.
