Read the Room is an interface for measuring and displaying group sentiment across a set of choices. A concrete deployment of Read the Room could be at a debate watch party. Each audience member can vote each candidate up or down — the physical interface will display the aggregated votes by showing how favorably (green) or unfavorably (red) the candidate is viewed by audience. The API for Read the Room also exposes data around the history of a candidates sentiment performance over time.
