OmniSense is the app from ThoughtCast Magic that allows you to know the cards, coins, and other objects a spectator has chosen using just your iPhone! OmniSense is EASY TO USE! Scan your object, add to library, and you're done. Plus, for larger object sets, you can import all the objects with their details encoded and ready to use. OmniSense is CUSTOMIZABLE What do you want your prediction to be? The possibilities are endless. Website predictions, photo predictions, it's all possible. OmniSense is DESIGNED FOR PERFORMERS The NFC system of the iPhone was not designed for magicians. But, our app is. Get feedback if the reader is running or not, know if the scan went through, and reset quickly and easily. OmniSense is expandable Our open prediction engine allows you to trigger other apps and services, so your prediction is limited to your imagination. OmniSense lets you Peek AT objects... Can't see your phone screen? No problem! With OmniSense, you can know the object they selected from looking at your watch (Apple Watch or MiBand/Pebble), looking at a PeekSmith device, listening to a hidden earpiece, or even feeling the vibrations on your phone. OmniSense turns your spectator into a mindreader... OmniSense can be used to turn a spectator into an instant stooge. Your phone can appear off, or on another screen, but turn it toward your spectator and, with one tap, they can see all the info. Or, if you own a bluetooth speaker, they can even hear the name of the object in their mind. OmniSense lets you predict with your phone... Every OmniSense object has a collection of data associated to that object. So, you can use your phone as the revelation itself. If you have a bunch of postcards, the maps app can show the location of that postcard. Or, they can choose several cards and each card is listed in a note on your phone. These and many more are possible with OmniSense! OmniSense plays well with others OmniSense works with a variety of other magic apps. Now, your objects don't have to be trapped inside of OmniSense and can help automate and pump up your other effects! OmniSense is a app designed for magicians only, and is for entertainment and non-nefarious uses only. OmniSense is part of the ThoughtCast Magic lineup of products and requires a ThoughtCast Magic account to gain access.
