Musical performance with audience participation using Cloud Services

Presenter: Antonio Deusany de Carvalho Junior

Technological restrictions and interaction settings affects audience participation in musical performances. It might be really expensive to give devices to each participant on a large audience, and the participants can avoid an interactive performance that is restricted to a specific technology, like the ones that requires iOS instead of Android systems. In this talk we will present a solution for audience participation where we use only smartphones connected to the Internet exchanging data through Cloud Services. We applied this solution in a performance at University of Michigan during past semester, and people can also apply this interaction process in other music performances and areas. We will also present some videos from the original performance and the code used on the performance manager.<p>
