The Club of The Future

Abstract

This article showcases our effort to explore the music club of the future. We present the development and results of an end-to-end system which enhances the club-going experience through the use of wearable technology. Each party guest wearing one of the wristbands actively contributes to the overall experience with their movement and location patterns. The system collects acceleration data from each of the attendees in real-time and feeds it into a pluggable network infrastructure, which processes the data, affecting the environment via data visualization or controlling of the light and sound system of a curated space within the club. Finally, we describe the results of a two night, 450 person per night deployment.

CWI-ADE2016 Dataset

“…is data 3 is broadcast using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Advertisement packets and collected with a network of Raspberry Pis (RPIs) deployed in an empty building transformed into an ad-hoc nightclub. e data was forwarded to a central server where it was stored and processed for di erent purposes, such as activity recognition, localization of guests, driving a real time data visualization or a ecting light and sound of a room within the environment [10]. Datasets gathered during real-life experiments are highly valuable for researchers of di erent elds.…”
