IMP: Interactive Mobile Participation

Leveraging the power of mobile for large scale AV installations.

Supported by Creative Informatics.

Turn mobile swipes, taps and shakes into MIDI, OSC, Art-Net, HTTP, and WebRTC

IMP has been developed with ease of access as a priority, instantly connecting any smart device to an interactive installation. IMP can be used to create complex audience interactions with minimal hassle.

Complex interactions

Collective agency over content.

The sense of presence, agency and playfulness provided by interactivity adds a completely new dimension to any large-scale AV experience.

For live events such as light trails, immersive theatre, exhibitions or music festivals.

FOR SPECTATORS

An easy-to-use interface, right in their device's browser, with no need to download an app, letting them interact with the physical assets in front of them. The sense of presence, agency and playfulness provided by interactivity adds a completely new dimension to any large-scale AV experience.

FOR EVENT PRODUCERS

An entirely new channel on which to communicate with spectators during and after the event; opportunities for re-engagement, feedback, analytics and cross- or up-selling. IMP will use established libraries to interface with AV control formats such as DMX, Art-Net, OSC, MIDI/MTC, HTTP, and WebRTC, ensuring wide compatibility and minimal build time.
