Opphos is a mobile application that creates participative light and sound shows by using and coordinating the screens and speakers of smartphones of people in crowds. These shows are made up of waves of color and sound that are generated by the cheers and movements of the participants. Opphos is built on a peer-to-peer network middleware that provides communication between mobile phones in large crowds, where standard cellular networks would not be available or sufficient.
