Crowd Mics is a unique and powerful audience engagement tool that puts a wireless microphone in everyone’s pocket. For event attendees, it uses their smart phone or tablet to create an immersive event experience by eliminating the need to pass a microphone around the room. Crowd Mics also gives the audience a voice through text commenting and live polling capabilities. The dedicated moderator app always keeps you in control of the conversation and helps the audience engage with the presenter seamlessly: • Get notified when someone in the audience wants to talk • Choose from a list of named requests • Deactivate an attendee mic at any time • Create polls before your event or in real time • Invite the audience to vote • Publish results live to the room’s display system Crowd Mics is hosted on a small, pre-configured hardware device, the ATOM. The ATOM is small enough to be placed almost anywhere and simple to set up – just connect it to the room’s AV system and attach it to a WiFi network. Crowd Mics is perfect for the participants and moderators of presentations, lectures, panel discussions or other similar events ranging in size up to 1000 attendees.
