###Summary

  • Live-voting is a realtime polling/voting tool that can be used in situations which have one person speaking in front of an audience.
  • The primary benefit of using this tool is to get a quick heartbeat response from your audience. Or as we like to call it, a quick litmus test.
  • A few example usages:
    • Educational context
    • Conferences
    • Annual General Meetings
    • Conference calls

###For a more in depth overview of our journey as a team through this project, please see the corresponding wiki.
