Bringing Sport Fans Back Into The Arena With Web Technology

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

A working web system uses Web Audio API and WebRTC to stream the PA announcer live to remote fans, record and mix their shouted responses, then play that mix back into the arena timed to the goal song so latency is masked. It replaces expensive low‑latency video walls and avoids synthetic crowd noise. Prototype runs at scale for smaller events, is tested and ready, but clubs resist adoption and national rules in Germany currently block playback at many fixtures.
