Social Live Enhancement for Audience and Performance

Akito van Troyer

Mobile social computing is becoming a practical and alternative way to reach audience members in music performance scenes, but musicians and vendors of music performances need to know how to design social music computing services that encourage audience members to actively participate in a given musical performance. We are developing new and compelling technologies for Social Live Enhanced Audience Performance (SLEAP) that connect audience members and musicians in new ways based on mobile social computing systems. We are collaborating with a consortium of major symphony orchestras as well as the Punchdrunk theater group.
