Abstract

In this work-in-progress we explore audience behavior at large musical events and present our prototype, a "cheering meter" developed to aid voting at rap competitions. We report from use of the cheering meter at eight concerts and conclude by highlighting how augmented interaction can increase the sense of participation among the audience at large-scale performances.
