Introducing The Cosmic Selector: An Interactive 3D Jukebox Experience Powered by NFC Coin Technology

Discover a new way to connect with music concerts through innovative technology. The Cosmic Selector is a dynamic web application designed for the artist Lord Huron, offering fans an exclusive interactive experience. Attendees receive specially crafted 3D-printed NFC coins at concerts or through mail, each uniquely linked to a selection from the band’s latest album.

How does it work? Fans simply scan their NFC coin with their smartphone to unlock and listen to curated tracks. Imagine the ambiance of a vintage jukebox, but in the digital realm—anyone on the site can listen as songs queue up in real-time, creating a communal listening experience reminiscent of sharing drinks at a cozy bar.

Technical Highlights:
– Built with modern web technologies: Vue.js and Nuxt.js, hosted seamlessly on Netlify.
– 3D modeling executed with Blender, integrated into the web using Three.js to create an immersive visual.
– Real-time interactions managed with Pusher, ensuring smooth song queues and live updates.
– NFC integration via the NFC API, enabling a streamlined minting process where one-of-a-kind coins are generated, stored in DynamoDB, and embedded with specific URLs pointing to individual song selections.
– Queue management handled efficiently using AWS Lambda functions, coordinating song requests as they arrive with minimal latency.
