About

Props Controller

Features
Read full description

The app is made for direct control of mobile phone props by onset Property Masters. Onset Property Masters are expected to be both resourceful and adaptable. On top of that, digital props go beyond the control of most. Any solution needs to adapt to unreliable internet connections, less-then-recent devices and last-minute changes. The app weathers this volatility in real-time. Not by offering everything, but by what you really need in any condition. In orchestration with the Props Player app on the set devices, the Remote Control app does what its name implies: in real-time direct what is scripted for the props, from a distance.
