Reminds me of the floating umbrella that appeared on Caladan in the 1984 Dune movie.

Do you mean the glowglobe rather than an umbrella? The glowglobes were used for lighting.

Yes, I do mean the glowglobe. As they are floating right above the person, they should also protect from rain. And there was a scene where one was floating through the rain.
