Hey everyone,
bringing the wearable x-osc biometric prototype that Adrian built in Berkeley.
When? I don’t know. It will be up to the local host here at ASU to determine if and when John and Teoma can come. Ideally the host could be a combination of Dehlia, Chris Roberts, and Kristi … Or ?
Chris Ziegler will be busy with the lighting workshop — which I think should be scheduled for late October because that’s when Omar is available, and that gives us more time to prep for the ASU-wide event focused on AME and Synthesis, assisted by the Deans and OKED.

PS Dehlia, Chris, Kristi. I’m going to start feeding you the research chatter for this OTHER and older stream of research at SYNTHESIS: movement, improvisation and responsive environments. This will expose cutting edge work on movement by very accomplished set of collaborators in TML Montreal, CNMAT Berkeley, USC Los Angeles, IRCAM Paris, and AME. There’s a lot to absorb. I suggest that you and everyone cc’ing chatter worth re-reading by mates in subsequent years in post@synthesis.posthaven.com

John and Teoma may bring this box of goodies down to show you. It is a quick prototype for them to experiment with to help them figure out what they need for their IRCAM project. It has an x-OSC with imu, analog devices 2-lead EKG chip and inputs for a handmade respiration sensor based on EEonyx fabrics and an ear-clip pulse sensor (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11574).
Obviously I would build something more substantial for regular use but this should suffice for building the signal processing and evaluating the sensors.
Incidentallally, Marientina it occurs to me that an ear lobe pulse sensor has a lot of potential for the large scale walking meditation experiments you discussed. It gives a muscle-noise free pulse signal and somebody must have created a BLE earring by now? Intel is building this kind of sensor into earbuds: http://www.sfgate.com/technology/article/50-Cent-Intel-team-on-heart-beat-headphones-5690650.php
