Apple’s iPad in Business page is featuring a piece on the Theatre Consultants Collaborative which uses the magic of Apple’s tablet computer to do theatre design, planning, programming… the works.

Everything from architectural drawings to conference calls is routed through the iPad at TCC. The company uses Audio Tools to analyze sound frequencies for any given performance.

They employ AutoCAD to design spaces, look at drawings, mark them up and make changes.  Apple sums it up best:

“The next time you walk into a theater or concert hall, take a moment to think about the space around you: the way the lights come up and dim, the way sound carries or doesn’t. Theatre Consultants Collaborative, or TCC, uses iPad to design and build performing arts spaces around the world. The group helps clients establish engineering specifications, plan infrastructure, and arrange interiors to accommodate lighting and sound systems, sight lines, stage rigging, and specialty equipment.”
