Embodiments are directed towards managing interactive communication for events at a venue. Multiple audience devices physically located at a venue may be determined. Audience devices that may be eligible to participate in interactive events at the venue may be determined based on their characteristics. A skin for a user interface may be determined based on the interactive events and the characteristics of the eligible audience devices. If interaction messages that indicate user participation in the interactive events are provided by the eligible audience devices, additional actions may be performed, including: generating interim results associated with the pending interactive event based on the interaction messages; and displaying content on displays at the venue that reflect updated interim results. If the pending interactive events may be complete, a final result may be generated based on the interim results and displayed as content on the displays at the venue.

Interactive audience communication for events

A portable entertainment system for a vehicle includes a portable housing, a transceiver, a processor, a memory, and a rechargeable battery. The transceiver communicates through RF signals with Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) operated by vehicle passengers. The rechargeable battery supplies power to the transceiver, the processor, and the memory. The memory is coupled to the processor and includes entertainment content and further includes computer readable program code that causes the processor to communicate a list, of at least some of the entertainment content available in the memory, to the PEDs. A content selection message is received through the transceiver from one of the PEDs that requests communication of a selected one of the entertainment content identified in the list. The selected entertainment content is communicated through the transceiver to the PED. The transceiver, the processor, and the memory are enclosed within the portable housing.
