BioData-Interfaces

Here you will find information about different BioData-Interfaces and how you can use them. The different BioData interface that we are in the process of researching are:

• Bitalino
• Heartlive
• Muse brain-computer interface
• BrainWave brain-computer interface with BrainOSC
• Myo (See Myo-OSC)
• Webcam for heartbeat detection (webcam pulse detector)
• Eye tracker
• Manus VR

Using (web)Cam for heartbeat detection

Using https://thearn.github.io/webcam-pulse-detector/ as starting point we researchd how you could use this in a live interactive installation.

• The webcam-pulse-detector works with Python3
• As dependencies you need to install opencv2 and Matplotlib

Using this fork you can also send out the pulse as OSC message.

Getting in Bitalino data and sending it over OSC

A Python script to get in the Bitalino data, and send it over OSC.

Tested on Mac OS Sierra, and with Python 3.7 and libraries mentioned here: https://github.com/BITalinoWorld/revolution-python-api

Code from there is updated to work with Python 3.7, and an example + Max OSC receiver example is included.
