Rest of You: Controlling Video with Heart Rate
In working with the HRMI over the last few weeks, I’ve been intrigued by how easy it is to manipulate my own heart rate, either slowing it by sitting still and breathing deeply, or speeding it up simply by waving my arms a little. I also happened to watch some video of jellyfish, and I [...]
Rest of You Week 3: Graphing Data from a File
Slowly getting there… I’m still having problems with the FileGrapherScroll sketch, but I got the plain FileGrapher working with a few small changes:
Red is the sound level, which I still need to smooth out a bit. Green is my heart rate. Note that the y values are increasing rather than decreasing as they head toward [...]
Rest of You Week 2: Heart Rate, meet Noise.
For Rest of You this week, Dan asked us to collect data from two sensors and send the data to a file. He suggested that one sensor be facing inward (e.g. galvanic skin response, heart rate, body temperature) and one be facing outward to detect environmental changes (e.g. light, noise, air temperature). I decided to [...]
Rest of You Week 1: Analog In, Serial Out
For the first week of Rest of You, Dan asked us to brush up on our physical computing skills by reading input from two sensors through Arduino and displaying the readings in Processing. My skills were pretty rusty, so first I reviewed the Analog In and Serial Out labs. I wanted to see readings from [...]
