IMP: Interactive Mobile Participation





Audience interaction in your pocket.


Ray Interactive R&D project, 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 turning any smart device into an interactive surface. IMP can be used to create complex audience interactions with minimal hassle.

Ease of Access - All in Browser

Instant feedback



Lightning fast response times.



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.





ONE STEP PROCESS (MINIMUM FRICTION)



1. Access web page





TWO STEP PROCESS (MINIMUM LATENCY)



1. Sign-in to local network
2. Access web page



Features



Preloaded with libraries for industry-standard formats, therefore low cost/build time for custom real-time interface between event's AV assets and spectators' devices



Increased accessibility with no app or download necessary: works in all major browsers



Fully customisable web iterfaces which can easily be designed and updated to match the event's look-and-feel



Access to all standard mobile APIs, including GPS/geolocation, accelerometer, gyroscope, camera (and soon augmented reality via theWebXR API)



Easily expanding audience accessibility and functionality at live events and beyond
