The audience app
What the audience sees on their phones, for each kind of interaction.
The audience answers on their phones in a web page at link.livingstorieslab.com. It opens from the QR code of a live show. See How the audience joins.
Screens
- Waiting: the story's title in its colours, until the show starts and between interactions.
- Interaction: the question, the way to answer, and a bar that counts down the voting window. After answering, the phone confirms the answer was sent.
- End: shown when the show ends.
Where the phone supports it, it buzzes when a new question arrives. The screen stays on during the show. The audience can leave at any time with the leave button.
Each kind of interaction
| Interaction | On the phone |
|---|---|
| Poll | The answers as buttons. Tap one. |
| Text | A text field. Type an answer and send it. |
| Audio · Speech | Speak an answer. The phone asks for the microphone first. |
| Audio · Noise | Make noise. Louder reaches the outer ring. |
| Touch movement · Directional | Two answers as buttons. Tap one. |
| Touch movement · Scale | A slider between two labels. Drag the dot. |
| Touch movement · Yes / no | Two answers, yes and no. Tap one. |
Each answer takes the colour of its outcome from the story's theme.
Microphone and voice answers
Speech and noise need the microphone. If the audience blocks it, they can't answer that interaction. Voice answers don't work in every browser; the page says so when they don't.
