You might be wondering how to use the LAIT system in your show. Here are some ideas to spark your imagination:
- Use the phones to extend lighting effects into the audience—Paint the audience with colored light
- Show graphics to create more environmental or informational context
- Show subtitles, or song lyrics
- Show what the actor is really thinking!
- Command the audience to do something
- Play sounds to create a distributed soundscape among the audience
- Show random images to people to encourage different reactions within the audience
- Give background information on the subject, the actors, or the play
- Highlight when a particular instrument is playing
- Vibrate the phones when a special moment is happening onstage
- Place tablets or phones in dancers’ hands for onstage effects
- Give clues to the audience to add to the mystery…
And soon to come:
- Let the audience choose which song they will hear next
- Let the audience choose which direction the play will go in
- Show extra animations as audience look through their cameras at the stage
- Send messages to specific people within the audience
- Show social media feeds
- Paint pictures on the audience’s phones, like a giant video screen
