-A normal pulse is regular in rhythm and strength. Sometimes it is higher, sometimes lower, depending on the situation and health condition.You rarely see it and feel it from time to time. Apart from the visualisation of an EKG, what could it look like?
+A normal pulse is regular in rhythm and strength. Sometimes it's higher, sometimes lower, depending on the situation and health condition.You rarely see it and feel it from time to time. Apart from the visualisation of an EKG, what could it look like? How can this vital rhythm be visualised?
-I would like to use an Arduino pulse sensor to create an interactive installation. The setup contains the pulse sensor and a screen. The user can easily connect to the Max by clipping the Arduino sensor to his finger. The webcam is connected and shows the image of the participant. The pulse sensor visually distorts the webcam image and creates a new result. The user can interact by trying to get his pulse higher, e.g. by moving.

+I would like to use an Arduino pulse sensor to create an interactive installation. The setup contains the pulse sensor and a screen. The user can easily connect to the Max by clipping the Arduino sensor to its finger. The webcam is connected and the screen shows a distorted image of the participant. The pulse sensor visually distorts the webcam image and creates a new result.
-A more complex version would be the interaction of two pulses. Two Arduino pulse sensors are connected to MAX and one distorted webcam image is showing the combination of pulses from two people. This idea could be further developed during the semester.

-How does it work: Arduino pulse sensor that measures the pulse with the fingers. Usually, this is used to measure the radial pulse. ''This has a reason: the finger closest to the heart is used to occlude the pulse pressure, the middle finger is used get a crude estimate of the blood pressure, and the finger most distal to the heart (usually the ring finger) is used to nullify the effect of the ulnar pulse as the two arteries are connected via the palmar arches (superficial and deep).'' In MAX, a patch must be created in which the data from Arduino is converted into parameters which distorts the image.
