The big screen is the heart of every EventWrist experience. It is where the Live Message Wall comes alive, where poll results appear in real time, and where Smart Raffle winners get their dramatic reveal. But the screen does not just show things passively — it is a dynamic display that shifts based on what you push from the host dashboard.
The Projection-Ready Big Screen
EventWrist is built for projection. The display at /screen runs in full-screen mode with a dark background optimized for projectors — bright enough to cut through ambient lighting in a venue, dark enough that colors and text pop against the background. You do not need any special hardware beyond a standard projector and an internet-connected device.
The screen works in three states: waiting, live, and raffle. Each state has its own visual design and purpose.
State 1: Waiting
Before the event starts, the screen shows a branded waiting state. Your event name appears in large gradient text, a countdown clock shows time remaining until start, and a subtle background animation of floating danmaku bubbles at low opacity creates atmosphere without distraction. This is what attendees see when they first walk in:
State 2: Live (Danmaku Wall)
Once your event starts, the screen switches to live mode. The header shows your event name and a green Live badge with the current check-in count. The body fills with danmaku — guest messages floating across in smooth physics-based motion. Each message shows an avatar, display name, and the message text:
Live
136 checked in
State 3: Raffle Reveal
When you trigger a raffle draw, the screen switches to a dramatic circular reveal. A glowing circular backdrop fills the center of the screen, the winner avatar appears inside, and their name and prize display below. Confetti animation runs alongside. Here is what it looks like:
The raffle reveal is the highest-energy moment of most events. The glowing circular backdrop, the avatar spotlight, and the prize name all build anticipation. Guests watch the screen as the draw happens in real time.
What to Put on the Screen
Beyond these three states, here is what the big screen can display throughout your event:
- During check-in — the waiting state with your event branding and countdown
- Between sessions — danmaku messages building social energy
- During presentations — poll questions and live results
- During breaks — open danmaku wall for guest reactions and shoutouts
- During giveaways — raffle reveals with winner names and prizes
- End of night — thank you message with a final danmaku flourish
The screen is fully controlled from the host dashboard. You decide what appears and when. You can leave it running danmaku continuously or switch between danmaku and poll results as your event program changes.
Opening the Screen
From the host console Information tab, click the Live Screen button. This opens the projection-ready display at /screen on your projector or second screen. It requires the host to be logged in — guests cannot control what appears on the screen.
