The technical challenge was that it was impossible(?) to have the controllers far enough away from the screen and the console to make this a reality. Rewi.re developed a technical solution to enable wireless controllers to work in the crowd, by 'hacking' the controller signals in realtime. Each controller could then be used wirelessly in the stands, extended via fibre optic cable to the console. Tested to 300m at the Earls Court Exhibition Hall, with a theoretical limit of 500m!
