This application will help you get noticed in the audience and get the speakers attention for that one million dollar question you have. This application puts a plain green or red screen on you iPhone which you can hold up to get speakers attention.

“These cards are a clear, yet unobtrusive, way to bring the audience into a conversation without having to disrupt the flow of a thought and without having to deal with voting clicker boxes or microphones. They’re a wonderfully elegant way for an audience to give respectful feedback in real time.

red:green is the iPhone implementation of this idea, and has the advantage that it can be used in the dark. Just hold up your iPhone while in the audience to display either a red or a green screen. Click on the screen to switch the color. It’s that simple!” – apps.iphonedevcamp.org
