CoPerformance: a rapid prototyping platform for developing interactive artist-audience performances with mobile devices

How can mobile technology create new models for audience participation in live performances? CoPerformance is a research project that aims to develop a set of plug-and-play participatory performance modules. These modules will allow designers to quickly build/test interactive experiences that utilize mobile devices. CoPerformance can be deployed via web browsers or native applications. The goal of this platform is to use existing frameworks to offer designers a powerful set of tools, templates, and scripts for interactive performances; and decrease the barriers for building participatory performances.
