For this project, I wanted to explore the use of heart rate data in the live mixing and designing of a show. As the heart rate increases, could there be a color shift in the lighting or in the media content? Leaving the controls to the performer open and in their partial control. First coding and serial data use was explored with the Adafruit Metro, after taking the first steps in learning to code and how to have programs like Isadora and Touch Designer read the data, the next step is to make a more wireless option. The end goal of this project is to capture the heart rate data from a performer and integrate the variable the performer creates into the design of a piece.
