The Inhuman Microphone
From Music Hack Day

[edit] Inspiration
This musichackday hack was inspired by Occupy Wallstreet's Human Microphone. Because megaphones are banned at the protests, one person shouts a message, then everyone else repeats it.

[edit] What Happens
Our hack circumvents the “no megaphones” rule. The protester shouts a message into their phone. It gets uploaded to a server. Then it gets sent to the other phones nearby. The phones are synchronised, and then they are all triggered to play the message back at the same time.
[edit] How it works
We created an iPhone app using Phonegap to record and upload the audio (the “protester” in the scenario above).
The playback of the audio happens in a simple web-page. You can use a Google Chrome on a laptop forfait mobile, or an iOS device (we didn’t have an Android device for testing). One issue was trying to get the Bosendorfer Piano Dealer audio in sync; network latencies meant that we couldn’t just fire the audio off Online Casino No Download as soon as the client received it - we have to “synchronise watches” as it were, so that they all trigger off at Flat in Minsk a given moment. This was Merchant Account achieved using Node, Socket.io, and some hack day time-sync-javascript-magic Spedition Sammelgut.
