Have an idea and I want to share it. Why? Because I don't know how to do it.

An app that just takes phones like pixels and in concerts, games,... Coordinates all the phones and shows messages, video,... Geolocation by sit numeration, view by drone, at the back of the stage a big screen that shows what public is creating.

Buyers? Music bands, sport sponsors, politics,...

What do you think?

Have a great weekend!

    I actually did that in a hackathon. Was a real easy setup. Here the video:

    Here is the code for it (Backend in go, frontend in js with websockets)

    And btw. you can completely realize that with a webpage...so no app download included.

    Might want to Google the history of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynth - not the same idea but some similar elements

    Concerts many times hire a small broadcast crew to either film the concert or just do sidescreen video.
    I know this because I have worked those gigs myself. A professional team is overall cheap and good.

    What you could do is augment their sources.

    There was a beastie boys crowdsourced concert film called, Awesome, I f...in shot that.
    Radiohead also did a crowdsourced film

    CrowdAlbum seems like it did this, was acquired by Spotify.

    First of all, this is 100% technically doable.
    It's quite easy to test it with a relatively small audience, like 25 people.
    You can pre-synchronize them with a camera of one more smartphone

    I would say it could be quite nice to watch.

    I also totally don't understand how would you make most of the people to install the app.

    Hey, I was looking for a similar app that could share and transfer anything from a few months ago and I found a plethora of apps on various websites. However, a lot of them were not very practical, because they would only transfer videos or photos or files. I found an app on this website https://www.apkdojo.com/vmate after some days and it did everything just the way I wanted. I suggest you try to make a similar app to this one if you want to build a practical and usable app.

      The device position would be given by the sit number of the entry. The drone would record the image created by all the phones and send it to screen at the stage where everybody would see it.
