Booka Shade concert uses audience’s phones to coordinate light show

Back in the day when there was no such thing as a smartphone, let alone a mobile phone, concerts do, from time to time, see the audience use lit candles and wave them from side to side in an emotionally charged moment. Well, Booka Shade has recently performed a concert but decided to ditch candles for something more current and high tech – which would be smartphones in the midst of the audience. In fact, the smartphones went along in a coordinated sound and lights show thanks to a custom app that ran during songs, helping the audience feel as though they ‘complete’ the performance.
