Pixmob
Our LED products and controller technology create immersive crowd-based special effects that turn fans themselves into an integral part of the entertainment experience. Through our wearable technology, each fan becomes a “pixel,” transforming crowds into canvasses of immersive, awe-inspiring moments. Our PixMob Controller technology is the real mastermind behind our magic. This tech controls our products using Infrared or Radio Frequency to communicate the effects to the devices. We’ve spent 15 years developing the largest range of immersive LED Infrared and Radio Frequency effects possible and have focused on creating devices that best immerse fans in these effects. What makes our special effects solution unique is that the fans themselves wear the lighting devices, which bridges the experience between the stage and crowd. This form of crowd-lighting immersion breaks the boundary of watching a show, immersing fans in the experience to make them a part of the show itself. We’ve been very lucky and grateful to work with some truly legendary artists, teams, and event companies. Recently, we partnered with the NY Jets to light up 80k fans with our RF Waveband wristband. We innovated this product to create a more budget and user-friendly way to deploy our signature effects. We used our infrared X2 and X4 wristbands to ignite music tours for artists like Bad Bunny for the World’s Hottest Tour and Karol G for the Mañana Será Bonito Tour. And, our NOVA semi-permanent pixels helped Gucci, the Bruins, and the Celtics give their fans an enlightened experience.
