IML Worm banner

A group of undecided voters each have a handset on which they register approval/ disapproval or neutral feelings constantly throughout the debates. The output of each handset creates a live "worm" graph throughout the debate, showing a total positive or negative rating for the audience appreciation.

What is The Worm?

Put simply, it’s a tracker that charts the opinions of your audience during a live presentation or speech and then displays the results on-screen.

How does it work?

Each person in the audience has an electronic handset with voting buttons. They use the handset to rate what they see and hear during the presentation or speech. The ratings are then collected, an average is taken, and The Worm displays the results on a worm-graph, displaying the thoughts of your audience in real-time and letting you know whether they like what they see or not.

Where else has The Worm been used?

The Worm has been used in televised election debates in Australia and the recent 2010 UK political debates, Click here to view how the Worm was utilised as well as at the 2009 political party conferences.  Click here for more information.

Worm used at the Leaders Debates

After three sometimes heated, sometimes exciting and always educational debates, the valiant Worm has wriggled its’ way along a distance of 0.2 miles: the circumference of both Aston Villa’s football pitch and Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester, or the height of 10 Cabot Towers in Bristol.

Mostly symbolically, the distance is the same as walking from the Houses of Parliament to 10 Downing Street.
