Clearly the AR tech is designed to look just as exciting for 5 seconds in your living room with a piece of paper as it is inside a 20,000 seat arena featuring a world famous rock band and the most advanced video screen in concert history.
Considering the huge size of the app, and how AR apps tend to work, everything needed to run this will already be on your phone.All I know is, if this technology is relying on streaming in the venue, they better be bringing something to bolster wifi/cell reception.
That was my take as well.To me, this is the result of U2 and their team saying, “If people are going to just watch the concert through their phone anyway, we might as well make something out of it.” If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
Yea I'd recommend not downloading it until right before the show(s) you're attending. It's a pretty big app at about a quarter of a gig.All right, uncle. I'll download it.
Hey, first app I've ever downloaded where it's warning me I'm downloading a Very Large App. Oh dear.
christ on a bike. as if there weren't already enough cell phones being held up in the way for the entire first song. i couldn't see the band at all during SBS on JT30, i'm almost 6 feet tall and i was less than 30 feet away from them. there was a forest of arms completely blocking my view.
yea people, you only paid hundreds of dollars for admission to the show. stop whining that for an entire song you won't be able to see the band you paid hundreds of dollars to see, you entitled fucks.It's one song. The first song. And then done. Stop whining.
It's one song. The first song. And then done. Stop whining.
But you didn't come all the way out here to watch AR now did ya?
This is In a Little While
It's one song. The first song. And then done. Stop whining.

There's not a ton of evidence... other than the app description that says it's for before the show and the first song?I'm not sure there is a ton of evidence to support that this is be a "one song and done" thing. I think they are touting the intro and then will probably use it intermittently throughout the show.
All right, uncle. I'll download it.
