Augmented Theatre Dashboard

Augmented Theatre Dashboard is the operator's side of a performance where the audience's own phones are part of the staging. From the booth, it sends text cues to every phone in the house over the theatre's own Wi-Fi, and delivers the images, video, audio and AR sets a production needs — quietly, during walk-in, so that a cue at curtain is instant. • Shows are folders you can see. Each one holds its own document and its own media, so clearing a closed production is deleting a folder. • Files are delivered content-addressed and verified, and a phone never fetches something it already holds. • Once a phone holds an asset it can be played, paused, stopped, shown and hidden as often as the show requires, without touching the network again. • Any cue can address part of the house — roughly a third of the audience, or half — rather than all of it. • The delivery tally shows how many phones hold each file and how far the rest have got. The companion Augmented Theatre app for iPhone is free. Text and the basic show cues are free forever. Sending media files, AR sets, addressing part of the house and the delivery tally are included for five days, and afterwards need the full version.
