Project 3 are GO!

Live Data

Right so yea, we did historical data last project so now we are using live data. We will make a 'make use of a near real-time message passing infrastructure to access the data'...

Sources of Life Data- 

• Biological
• Environmental
• Financial
• Social
• And pretty much anything that changes quickly and is important

This could be examples of weather, the stock exchange, animal movement or behaviour, ocean tides etc. The list goes on and on, this technology is very open. 

The best example of live data I've found so far is this video.

OgilvyOne London connected Heathrow's live air traffic control data and live scores from the Wimbledon Tennis Championship, and mashed it up with players' nationalities to create live, useful, customised messages for departing passengers at Terminal 5.

The Idea and Concept 

The Team

• Stuart- Programming/Concept Design
• Ian- Programming/Concept Design
• Natalie- Research/Concept Design
• Me- Audio/Sound/Concept Design

The idea of the project is to control live data feeds using your senses or other variables. After much debating and discussing we decided to create a visualization with sound and audio to represent growth using movement. Growth represented by tree's, so the more active the brain is, the bigger the tree's will grow and the more amount of them there will be. 

This is how active the brain is in its various modes.

• Beta 15-30Hz > Normal, awake brain patterns
• Alpha 9-14Hz > Relaxed and calm brain patterns
• Theta 4-8Hz > Deep relaxation or problem solving brain patterns
• Delta 1-3Hz > Sleep brains patterns
