The handheld device for the audience that Rhizomatiks has developed for this event adapted SPRESENSE™ by Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation as a mainboard.
The device equipped with GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), LED and speakers will change its lights and sound patterns that the device emits according to the location data.
Since most of the pen lights used for concerts are usually controlled by group ID or seat numbers for lightning, they cannot be used for events where there are no fixed seats or the audience can wander around spontaneously. However, GNSS enables more flexible direction without restrictions on the audience location. With the improvement of positioning technologies, highly accurate position data used only indoors can be adapted to outdoor use, with which relationships between real space and virtual space move on to the next phase.
Baroon-shaped handheld devices give you visual illusions of lights floating around. Not only the lights but sound from the device also can be controlled by location or progression of live performance to make unprecedented soundscape by making sounds from speakers inherited inside those 1000 devices. Furthermore, we will introduce omni wheel robots(a cart robot that can move forward/backward and left/right) with lightning equipment for the first time as a fully autonomous driving device for live performance controlled with a positioning system using high-quality RTK-GPS*.
Please enjoy augmented and interrelating expression of lights, color, and sound in synch with cutting-edge lighting and sound system utilizing specifically this festival sights and surrounding area.
