CheeringCrowd

A simple crowd that cheeres and is trigger via a button on your phone.

Intro

CheeringCrowd is a small installation piece that was created for my master studies in Hagenberg. It features a crowd of characters than can be triggered via a button to cheer.

The tech setup is based on a Unity Application that uses ZXing to create a QR-Code to a Netlify web-app. On this web-app there is a button which writes into a realtime Firelink DB, which is in turn read by Unity to trigger an animation. The scope of this project is quite small but I am really happy that the QR-Code to Website on Phone works so smoothly. I might utilise this tech again in some future works :)

The web interface is quite barebone and simple
