What Company is Offering:
MegaPhone is a phone-controlled, real-time, multi-player collaborative gaming platform for big screens in public spaces. Megaphone can join in a simple video game by calling in with their cell phones, with their phones serving as makeshift game controllers. As a video on Megaphone’s website demonstrates, those linked into the game can fire weapons at space-alien attackers while seeing their own avatar along with those of other players.
How It Works:
Anyone can use ANY phone from ANY service provider in ANY country as a game controller.
Players join the game by making a regular phone call, and they can see their input (either voice or keypad) immediately.
MegaPhone turns pedestrians into players.
What's Different:
The essential strength is audience participation on a massive scale. Participants get a sense they’re contributing to a larger effort, in the same way stadium goers continue to enjoy creating the wave during sporting events. With multitudes of users participating, everyone also retains some needed anonymity. If you play poorly, no one will know. ;-) And Megaphone is yet another example of harnessing cell phones to enhance a marketing effort.
