LIVE AUDIENCE REACTIONS SOFTWARE
Let the room respond without interrupting the speaker.
Give attendees a simple way to react to a presentation—and make their participation visible on the event screen.
Technanosoft develops custom audience reaction software that turns attendee-selected smiles, applause and other approved emojis into live on-screen animations. Bring the audience into the session while keeping the presentation at the centre of the experience.
A LITTLE TAP. A SHARED MOMENT.For conferences, company town halls, innovation events and live presentations.
A RESPONSE WITHOUT AN INTERRUPTION
A speaker shares an idea. An attendee taps a smile. Others join with applause or celebration reactions. Their chosen emojis appear on the event screen while the session continues.
The audience has a way to participate without raising a hand, opening a microphone or waiting for the question-and-answer session.
We build the software behind that interaction, connecting a simple reaction panel with a display experience designed around your stage, content and programme.
A tap from the audience.
A visible response in the room.
FROM A TAP TO THE SCREEN
The input devices, reaction choices and display behaviour are defined around your event setup.
Guests access the reaction interface on the selected tablet, kiosk or participant device. A phone-based joining flow using a session link or QR code can be included where it suits the event.
Attendees tap an approved emoji, such as a smile, applause or celebration. Clear labels explain each choice, while visual confirmation shows that their input has been received.
The software applies the configured reaction rules and sends accepted responses to the event display. Show emojis as floating, falling or other agreed animations without covering essential presentation content.
Give authorised staff controls to open or pause participation, clear active animations and move to the next session. Define what happens to outstanding reactions when a presentation ends.
BEHIND THE EXPERIENCE / DFDs
Follow a chosen reaction through session checks, acceptance and display rules. These illustrative DFDs describe a possible design; access, expiry, pause behaviour, storage and reporting are agreed for your event.
Attendees deliberately choose an approved reaction and receive session state and acceptance feedback. Authorised operators configure reactions, access, pause and clear behaviour, expiry and screen limits. The application sends display-safe animation instructions to the venue display and receives display status. Optional summaries are for organisers; reaction totals are not votes, judge scores, unique-attendee counts or inferred emotions.
The application checks session access, the approved reaction set, input windows and retry or cooldown rules. Accepted reactions carry a session ID and expiry into a pending queue. Before display, the scheduler rechecks session state, expiry and density limits, then groups, schedules or omits reactions according to the agreed rules. Display receipts distinguish confirmed animations from instructions sent or unconfirmed delivery. Optional reporting keeps submitted, accepted and displayed measures separate. Authorised session changes and clear commands invalidate or purge pending reactions according to policy. Old sessions must not replay after reconnection.
On smaller screens, scroll across the diagram or open it full size.
A choice, not a detected emotion. The attendee selects a labelled reaction. No camera, facial analysis or emotion inference is part of this experience.
Keep each response in its session. Validate the session and expiry before display. A pause, clear or session change follows agreed queue rules so older reactions do not spill into the next presentation.
Acceptance and animation are different. Density limits may group, queue or omit accepted reactions. Submitted inputs, accepted inputs and displayed animations are separate measures; none automatically counts unique attendees.
FEATURES & CUSTOMISATION
Choose the capabilities that support your event. The final reaction set, device configuration, display behaviour and reporting are agreed within the custom project scope.
Choose the reactions available to attendees. Keep the set focused and label each button clearly so guests understand what they are selecting.
Use approved choices rather than an unrestricted message feed when the experience should stay simple and presentation-friendly.
OPTION TO SCOPECarry your event identity into the reaction panel, joining screen and session messages. Plan the interface for the selected phones, tablets or shared kiosks.
Keep controls easy to find, with clear feedback after each tap.
OPTION TO SCOPECreate floating emojis, falling reactions or another agreed animation style. Define their size, movement, duration and permitted display area.
A dedicated reaction screen or an overlay on presentation content can be assessed around the chosen production setup.
OPTION TO SCOPEGive authorised staff a separate control panel for starting participation, pausing inputs, clearing animations and changing sessions.
Make it possible to quiet the display during detailed slides, sensitive discussions or announcements without ending the entire experience.
OPTION TO SCOPEAssociate reactions with the relevant presentation or session. Define when participation opens, when it closes and how the screen resets between speakers.
Prevent delayed responses from appearing during a different presentation by agreeing clear expiry and reset rules.
OPTION TO SCOPESet optional cooldowns between taps and limits on how many animations appear at once. Keep a busy audience response from overwhelming the screen.
Define how additional reactions are grouped, queued or omitted from animation when the display reaches its configured limit.
OPTION TO SCOPEInclude organiser-facing summaries of accepted reactions by type or session. Define whether reports count submitted inputs, accepted inputs or displayed animations.
Keep reaction totals separate from unique-attendee counts, especially when guests can react more than once.
OPTION TO SCOPEScope session codes or restricted access where participation should be limited to the event audience.
Plan what the interface shows during a connection interruption and whether older inputs expire rather than appearing late after reconnection.
OPTION TO SCOPELet guests respond through a few clear choices. Keep the interaction brief so they can return their attention to the speaker rather than navigate a complicated interface.
Make selected audience reactions visible during the session. Use them as a voluntary expression of participation—not as a substitute for questions, structured feedback or a formal evaluation.
Decide which sessions include reactions, who can activate them and how they appear. Keep participation aligned with the programme instead of leaving animations running throughout every presentation.
Plan the reaction area around slides, captions, names and other important on-screen information. Use a separate display where an overlay would distract from the material being presented.
PARTICIPATION, AT THE RIGHT MOMENT
These examples illustrate possible configurations, not previous client results.
EVENT CONCEPT 01Let attendees respond during selected presentations or at moments introduced by the host. Keep the reaction controls available without turning every slide into an audience activity.
Guests choose smiles or applause during a keynote, with animations appearing in a designated area of the event screen.
EVENT CONCEPT 02Give colleagues a simple way to acknowledge announcements, celebrate milestones or respond to a presentation.
The host opens a celebration reaction during an employee-recognition segment, then pauses the animations before the next discussion.
EVENT CONCEPT 03Add a visible participation layer while teams present their ideas. Keep audience reactions separate from official judge scores and competition results.
Attendees send encouragement during presentations while judges complete their evaluations in a separate scoring workflow.
EVENT CONCEPT 04Introduce reaction moments at natural pauses in the programme. Let participants acknowledge a demonstration without interrupting the explanation.
The presenter invites a reaction after completing a demonstration, then clears the display before moving to the next activity.
WHY TECHNANOSOFT
Technanosoft has delivered audience reaction software alongside other event applications, including digital judging, quiz games, registration and badge printing, selfie kiosks and RFID-controlled video experiences.
We bring that project experience into planning both the attendee interaction and the controls behind the event screen.
Explore our event softwareStart with how the session runs and where audience input belongs. Shape the reaction experience around the programme rather than adding an animation layer without a clear purpose.
Guests need a few understandable buttons. Event staff need session controls, display settings and recovery options. Design each interface for the person using it.
Confirm the participant devices, network, presentation source and display arrangement early. Test the full route from a guest’s tap to the visible animation before event use.
OUR DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
The goal is visible participation without losing the presentation.
Share the event format, expected simultaneous participation and intended devices. Agree which reactions guests can choose, when they can participate and whether the experience uses individual or shared devices.
Plan the reaction buttons, input confirmation and session messages. Review animation styles against representative slides so the reactions do not obscure content.
Develop the agreed participant interface, operator controls and reaction display. Include session rules, input limits, reporting and access requirements where they form part of the scope.
Test bursts of input, pauses, session changes and interrupted connections. Review how the display behaves when participation increases and how staff return it to a clear state.
BEFORE WE BUILD
Practical details for planning your experience.
Plan Your Live ReactionsIt lets attendees select reactions on a device and displays those responses during an event.
A custom experience can include smile and emoji buttons, animated screen effects, session controls and optional reaction summaries. The input method and display setup are designed around the event requirements.
No. The experience described here uses reactions that attendees deliberately select.
It does not use cameras to detect smiles, analyse faces or infer emotions. A smile reaction means someone chose that button; it is not a measurement of their facial expression or emotional state.
Audience reactions provide a lightweight way to express a response during a session.
A quiz evaluates answers against defined rules. A poll collects responses to a specific question. A voting system contributes to a decision under agreed eligibility and counting rules.
Emoji reactions should not automatically be treated as votes or competition scores.
A phone-based participant interface can be included, with joining through an agreed session link, QR code or access code.
The project needs to account for device compatibility, venue connectivity and expected simultaneous participation. Dedicated tablets or shared kiosks can also be considered.
An overlay can be assessed for the selected presentation and display setup. A separate reaction screen is another option.
The arrangement should be tested with the actual presentation source and production equipment. Compatibility with every presentation application or video system should not be assumed.
Yes. Host controls can be included for pausing participation, stopping animations and clearing the display.
Define whether a pause blocks new submissions, temporarily hides reactions or both. Staff should understand these behaviours before the event.
The application can include input cooldowns, session rules and limits on simultaneous animations.
These controls manage activity and screen density; they should not be described as a guarantee against every form of misuse. Stricter participant identification can be assessed where the event requires it.
Optional reports can show accepted reactions by type and session.
The counting method needs to be clear. One person may submit several reactions, so total taps do not necessarily represent the number of attendees. Reaction counts also do not establish whether the whole audience understood or agreed with a presentation.
Capacity depends on the application design, hosting, network and display configuration.
Specify the expected number of simultaneous participants and test representative bursts of activity. The number of inputs the system accepts and the number of animations shown at once are separate settings.
A local-network deployment can be assessed during project planning.
Participant devices and the display still need an agreed way to communicate with the application. Connectivity, hosting, access and recovery requirements should be tested together rather than treating “offline” as a single feature.
This service focuses on custom software development and agreed integrations.
Tablets, networking equipment, presentation computers, displays, production support and on-site staffing should have clearly assigned responsibilities. They should not be assumed to be included in the software scope.
Pricing depends on the participant interface, animation design, session controls, display integration, access requirements and reporting.
A shared-tablet setup and a large multi-device experience require different development and testing work. The estimate should distinguish software development from hosting, equipment and event-operation costs.
