arci

interactive stage performances via smartphone

arci is in active developement and is not yet recommended for productive use. Feel free to experiment with it though :)

Developement by bleeptrack and Henrike Iglesias.

Requirements

• webserver:
  • running node and npm
  • capable of serving static files (f.e. nginx)
  • reachable in your local network or publicly, depending on your use case

Installation

Clone the repo and run

npm install

In the cloned folder, you will find a file called config.json. Here, set the information as follows:

absolute-static-file-path is the path to a folder where your static files can be served port is the port number that the arci server can run on

Usage

Start the server with npm run

You can now open the arci control page at http://<your-domain>/control. Create your cues, order them in the cue list and when you are ready, start a session with the "start session" button. Only then people are able to connect.

Guide your audience to http://<your-domain>/seat/

In case people on stage need to be assigned a certain participant ID, then guide them to http://<your-domain>/seat/<ID>

Creating custom Interaction Types

You can create your own Interaction Types by adding a file to the public/InteractionTypes/ folder on your server. A template with description of available methods can be found in interaction-template.js.
