Concept idea
- Thinking about an external input we came up with the idea to use our voices as an input. Something like take the change in the decibels every time you speak into a mic. but after several trials it was better to take another direction so we decided to take the acceleration data from a mobile device and do something with that.
In our case we took the path to manipulate the acceleration values in X, Y and Z axis, so with that in mind we tried to develop an sound output that was loud and annoying like when a hornet pass by flying and also generate a swarm and chaotic visual output of this same concept.

Tips...
On the mobile phone the outgoing port it's set up on 8000 so for the first laptop we need the same port number, on the first laptop the outgoing port is the 9000, so the receiving port in the second laptop should be 9000.
Step by step implementation
TouchOSC
1. Download and install touchOSC into your mobile device android or iphone:
Iphone
Android"
2. Set up your on your mobile device
- under connections tap on osc, then enabled and on host assign the Ip address of the first laptop, and assign the outgoing port to 8000
- after, under options panel tap it and enabled the accelerometer (/xyz)
- then choose a layout or create your own with TouchOsc editor if you need more info about touch osc here is a Editor tutorial
-finally go to the layout to start sending the acc data via OSC protocol
