At the very front stood a massive platform surrounded by floating screens of light. Every pair of eyes in the hall occasionally drifted toward that stage, filled with anticipation, anxiety, or excitement.

His thumb moved steadily across the screen.
The noisy chattering atmosphere around him barely seemed to exist in his mind.
