Summary

The Drama of Data: Whirligig Productions Builds An Interactive Theater With Node.js, Drones, and Twilio SMS Whirilgig Productions' production of Deus Ex Machina uses a combination of technologies including Node.js, drones, and Twilio SMS to create an interactive theater experience. The audience is given the power to shape the story in real-time via SMS votes, which are then displayed on stage alongside other visual cues. This allows for a more immersive experience, as the audience's participation directly affects the storyline. To ensure accessibility, Twilio SMS was chosen over competitors due to its ease of use and extensive documentation. The integration with Twilio has been seamless, enabling the production team to make changes to messages trivially, and has opened up possibilities for further interactive text messaging experiences.
