FINAL PROJECT IDEA: Pulse — distorting live images
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?
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.
Project Thoughts
Please take a look at Johannes Schneemann Project idea 1
What does the space we share online look like?
Participants in an online meeting share a virtual space without having the same circumstances. What circumstances influence a meeting in reality? Someone might be cold or hot, very noisy, the washing machine is running in the background, late at night or early in the morning with a time shift...
The shared virtual space should be represented by its own added member of the BBB conference displaying an interactive moving image. It is generated from data collected from all participants at the time of the meeting. For 5 participants, the parameters are: body temperature, room temperature, pulse, time, noise. This non-visual data is translated into visual images. The room we are sharing online gets another dimension.
I have to admit that it won’t be technically feasible in this short time (real time data exchange, embed in BBB, interactive visualisation)
