Cinewav is looking to put live event audio in your pocket. The platform is being used to drive participation from anyone during Vivid Sydney 2023, where Cinewav enriched dozens of immersive, super-sized light, drone shows and animations with personalized soundtracks. At the Danang International Fireworks Festival 2023 (DIFF2023), Cinewav synchronized the audio soundtrack with Fireworks displays via mobile phones to locals and tourists across Da Nang, Vietnam’s fifth most populated city. Upcoming global projects include Drive-ins and cinematic screenings at cultural attractions, hotels and resorts.

Cinewav is a patented platform and mobile app that allows users to watch visuals on a big public screen and listen to the audio in synchronicity on their own mobile phones giving users a very high-quality, immersive and personal experience.

Behind Cinewav is a team of seasoned filmmakers and support engineers with a passion for making audio a superior experience for events. The company has its headquarters in Singapore.

Cinewav Co-Founder Christian Lee said: “Having proved the power of Cinewav as a means of engaging audiences at scale in immersive storytelling we aim to bring the experience to live events around the world. For instance, the broadcast of a major sports event could offer live commentary from a commentator on site at the match and in a preferred language. Just imagine getting live commentary at the stadium of a football match or being able to switch to your favorite commentator!”

“There are clear gains for designers and event producers looking to unlock creativity and imagination but also reduce the carbon footprint (and financial cost) of power-hungry loudspeakers. The technology also eliminates noise pollution allowing the use of novel event spaces and is a low-cost way to monetize audio-visual events in open public spaces.”

Available on the Apple and Google Play App Stores, Cinewav is also a contactless event ticketing platform with a ticket scanning app for access control and redemption of pre-sold products. Event holders only need the Cinewav player on their laptops.
