Abstract: A method and system for interacting with and between audience members located in the same or different locations is described including a central computer, at least one base station connected to the central computer, and a plurality of keypad units arranged to wirelessly transmit and receive signals from the base station. The keypad units may also be located remote to the central computer and the base station, and transmit and receive signals with the central computer via a communication network. The keypad units contain a data connector for transmitting and receiving signals via a wired connection to the central computer or the base unit. The keypad units are configured to enable numeric, text, and voice interaction with and between audience members.

Abstract: A voting device and system for voting is described having a touch sensitive membrane input surface including at least one of an arc input and a slider input, at least one sensor for detecting movement and orientation of the voting device, and at least one transmitter. The voting device receives a voting response inputted by a user from at least one of the arc input, the slider input and the sensor, and then sends the user inputted response upon at least one of a pressure and a release of pressure on the touch sensitive membrane input surface.
