The clicker system problem
Traditional audience response systems (ARS) like TurningPoint and iClicker require hardware purchase or rental, IT support for installation, and per-seat licensing that adds up fast. Universities spend tens of thousands maintaining these systems — and participants are often required to buy or rent their own clicker as a course requirement.
rifts.to eliminates all of that. Everyone in your audience already owns the device they need: a smartphone. The survey runs in any mobile browser. There's no software to install, no license to manage, and no cost to the institution or the audience.
Same functionality, zero infrastructure
Real audience response systems deliver immediate feedback that shapes the session in progress. rifts.to delivers the same thing: live results that update as each person responds, displayed in a format the presenter can read at a glance.
Multiple choice questions show a live bar chart. Rating scale questions show a running average. Free-text questions show verbatim responses as they arrive. The presenter sees everything on their admin dashboard while the audience sees only the submission confirmation. It's the full ARS experience without the hardware budget.
