Realtime Concert Program Notes on a PDA

Posted by michael on from the peter-and-the-wolf dept.

PoisonousPhat writes "NPR has an article on a new idea for concertgoers at the Aspen Music Festival. Dubbed the 'Concert Companion', the concept used a PDA (a Sony Clie PEG-NX73V for those of you that MUST know) as a 'listener's guide...that updates you with information about what you're hearing, in real time.' The concept seems similar to the audio headsets available in museum tours. Read the bleeping article here."

    Boilermaker football fans at Purdue University's Ross-Ade Stadium are able to score up-to-the-minute statistics, player and coach biographies and other electronic "infotainment" using PDAs. Purdue received $1.2 million from Cisco to roll out the new wireless infrastructure at the stadium. I haven't tried it myself (not that much of a geek), but definately cool idea.
