Audimance vs BROAD/CAST

Audimance: Multitrack Audio Description for live performances. Audimance provides a flexible sonic experience designed to accompany live performances. Audimance is the first app that centers and is designed in consultation with experienced users of Audio Description, allowing audience members to choose the content and complexity of their sonic experience. Audimance’s content is created by artists, and provides features including: 1. Audio of the performance program and other relevant pre-show content 2. A menu of sound styles to create a personalized mix of descriptive and artistic audio description and sonic tracks 3. An interactive interface that generates a spatialized sonic performance for exploration Note: Audimance can only be used during live performances at venues that support it. You will be prompted to connect to the venue's Audimance WiFi network when you open the app. A demonstration performance is provided as a way to try Audimance's features. A list of upcoming Audimance-enabled performances is included in the app.

Broadcast is a synchronized live-performance audio platform. When you arrive at a participating performance, scan the venue's QR code, install and open the app, and the show's audio streams to your phone in millisecond-perfect sync with everyone else's device. Different audience members may hear different mixes depending on where they are or which section they're in, creating a shared listening experience that adapts to each listener. Broadcast is not a music streaming service or on-demand player. It only works during scheduled live performances at participating venues. When no show is active, the app is idle. FEATURES • Millisecond-accurate synchronization across every connected phone — audio plays in lock-step whether you're standing next to another audience member or across the venue. • Automatic venue check — the app confirms you're at the performance before joining. • Bluetooth headphone compatibility with automatic latency compensation so wireless headphones stay in sync with everyone else. • Offline-tolerant — brief WiFi interruptions don't break your audio; the app buffers and recovers gracefully. • Battery-friendly — designed to run for the length of a full performance. HOW IT WORKS 1. Arrive at a participating performance. 2. Scan the venue QR code and install Broadcast. 3. Open the app; it confirms you're at the venue and downloads the show's audio. 4. When the performance begins, audio plays automatically in sync with everyone else's phone. 5. When the show ends, the app returns to idle. ABOUT Broadcast is developed by Point A Works LLC in Brooklyn, NY, for live performances and events. It replaces traditional wireless in-ear-monitor systems used in theatre and live production, giving performers unlimited range and directors creative routing flexibility that no traditional radio system can match. Broadcast is optimized for headphones — Bluetooth, wired, or over-ear.
