# Illuminating Concert Wearables The Hurdl Pixl Turns Concert Crowds into Their Own Light Show By Joey Haar | Published 2017-02-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hurdl-pixl References: [venturebeat](http://venturebeat.com/2016/11/03/hurdl-launches-pixl-led-wearable-to-light-up-the-wrists-of-concert-goers/) & [hurdl](http://www.hurdl.com/) The Hurdl Pixl makes concerts and other [live performances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highprofile-marketing-event) more dazzling and immersive for attendees. The [wearable wristband](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tband) contains a multi-colored LED that can work in tandem with those around it to effect tremendous light shows within the crowd, allowing for a completely new form of audience participation. Individually, the Hurdl Pixl wristbands aren't particularly impressive. They contain a bright, 16 million color LED and are controlled from a central software program via radio frequency. What's impressive about the Hurdl Pixls is their ability to coordinate with one another: once audience members connect to their devices via SMS and upload information (based on the request of the lighting manager for the event), the Pixls can create [mass light shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighting-experience) with one another. For example, the lighting manager could make the wristbands light up by relationship status during a song about love, or they could light them up for everyone celebrating their birthdays to let the artists congratulate them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Concert Wearable Technology:** Opportunities for wearable technology companies to create immersive concert experiences. - **Audience Participation:** Opportunities for event organizers to increase audience engagement and participation using wearable technology. - **Crowd Lighting:** Opportunities for lighting companies to create coordination technology for mass light shows within large crowds. ### Where This Applies - **Wearable Technology:** Companies can create wearable technology for concerts and live events, allowing audience members to participate in immersive experiences. - **Event Planning:** With the use of wearable technology, event organizers can increase the level of audience participation and create more impactful experiences. - **Lighting Design:** Lighting companies can explore opportunities to create coordination technology for mass light shows within large crowds, enhancing concert experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Conference Badge Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/programmable-display.md) - [AI-Powered Pixel Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-gaming-pixel-light.md) - [Music-Synced Party Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-partylight.md) - [LED-Infused Festival Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinsel-arcade.md) - [Tech-Enhanced Beaded Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soulstones.md) - [Gesture-Controlled Turn Signal Armbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flasher-armbands.md) - [Vibrating Wearable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-wearable-speaker.md) - [Wearable Conference-Focused Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bizzabo.md) - [Curtain-Style Smart Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-rgbic-curtain-lights.md)
