This paper describes a novel method of providing concert audiences with the ability to interact with a live musical performance. It will detail a technique which uses wireless PDAs to capture and transmit gestures from individual audience members to live performers on-stage. The paper will discuss details of the software and interface design as well as presenting a clear rationale for each component in the architecture. In addition to the technical issues, the paper will discuss the creative implications of such technology and will conclude with future work in the area.
