We set up a scenario for viewers to go through our whole experience.

A day in DynacTiV Systems – Audience Side

An appointed live event is scheduled for a specific time.

1. The viewer sets up at the appointed time.
2. The welcome screen pops up saying “DynacTiV Systems presents: The Colbert Report.” Underneath the title slowly flashes “Wave to start.”
3. After they wave, curtains come down, covering the welcome screen and a rope drops down with text saying “Pull.” A 3D hand appears.
4. After the user pulls the rope, the curtains rise to reveal the stage and a giant projector screen with a countdown timer on it. The user sees silhouettes on the bottom and the UI appears on the screen. A text appears in the corner “Wave to lock User Interface.” Locking makes the hand disappear.
5. The silhouettes are made up from a random selection of other DynacTiV users. Some of the silhouettes are bots.
6. The countdown reaches zero and The Colbert Report intro starts.
7. The stage audience cheers and applauds, clapping animation is played. The DynacTiV system detects noise, movement and clapping and interprets that as applause. Sends the signal to server. This signal is then fed to the other users currently connected in the same network.
8. The show starts. The User waves to lock the interface.
9. Stephen Colbert says a particularly funny line. People laugh. Passive data collected and sent to servers. Laughter is detected. Sent to other users.
10. User waves to unlock the interface, it appears and the user gives a Thumbs Up. The thumbs up icon becomes bigger, flashes and shrinks back down to normal size. The 3D hand also does a Thumbs up. Thumbs Up is detected and is sent to server. Thumbs cool down is triggered. The Thumbs icon is grayed out with a bold number (the cool down) displayed on it.
11. The Thumbs up bar on the side of the screen goes up. Other users have followed suit.
12. The user continues to maintain a thumbs up for another 10 seconds. The flower icon appears in the corner with the text “Throw!” A flower appears in the 3D hand. The user makes a throwing motion and a flower flies onto the stage. The flower icon grays out with the text saying “5min.” Cool down initiated. Flower signal sent to servers.
13. Other users decide to follow suit and also throw flowers. This information is fed back to all users.
14. One of the silhouette sneezes in the silhouettes. The user says “Gazuntight.” The system detects it and relays the message. This also works vice versa.
15. The user starts talking the phone. The Kinect starts detecting words and one of the bots say “Shh.”
16. Hearing this, the User toggles mute. All data from the user stops being collected until it is un-muted. After the phone conversation is done, the user un-mutes and re-locks.
17. Towards the end of the show, a disagreeable interviewee appears. After he says some disagreeable statements, the user unlocks and makes a thumbs down gesture. Similar to #12, #13 and #14 but with a tomato splat.
18. Stephen Colbert closes with his ending remarks. The user stands up and claps for a standing ovation. Kinect detects loud noise, clapping and user is standing. Standing ovation. Some of the silhouettes follow suit and obscure slightly more of the screen from standing up.
19. The digital screen says “End of Broadcast.” A rope comes down with text saying “Pull!”
20. After the rope is pulled, the curtains fall and ends the program.

Note: As the performer side isn’t designed yet, the outline above doesn’t reflect anything performer-side.
