How a phone flashlight light show works: ultrasound instead of the network

A viewer scans a QR code, the show page opens in the browser and asks for access to the flashlight and microphone. After that the phone becomes a point of the shared picture. No app, no wristbands.

Commands don’t come over the internet but as ultrasound from the venue speakers. People can’t hear the signal, but the phone’s microphone picks it up. So thousands of phones flash at once and the mobile network isn’t loaded, even when it is overloaded at a stadium.

Works in the browser, no app to install

The page opens even when internet is restricted: the domain is whitelisted

Commands arrive as ultrasound from the speakers, no mobile network needed

Seat-based pictures: the venue map sets which row lights up in which colour

We don’t collect personal data during the show: everything is processed on the phone, and once the tab is closed we have no access to the viewer

How flashlights sync by ultrasound

The show is launched by the sound engineer, DJ or host: whoever has access to the sound controls the light. We prepare the script and control tracks in advance.

A test in tough conditions: the planetarium show with the internet jammed. How our approach differs from PixMob wristbands and CUE’s sound technology is in how a crowd is synchronized.

Where it works: concerts and festivals, stadiums, corporate events and weddings.
