The UAE continues to expand its position as a global destination for festivals, retail innovation, cultural celebrations, and high-impact public events. As audiences become more diverse and participation-driven, organisers are seeking interactive solutions that create instant engagement and high visibility.
The Sound Surge, developed by NXT Interactive, is a sound-responsive digital activation that transforms vocal input — such as cheering, speaking, or clapping — into animated onscreen reactions. Its simplicity, high energy, and broad accessibility make it suitable for festivals, tourism activations, government events, malls, and large gatherings across the country.
