sonifying real-time streaming data
(local and remote)
video of this class
We did three little demos of real-time data streaming and audio interpretation.
The first used the
MUSE
basic EEG/brainwave headband sensor, the second showed how to employ
Apple iWatch data within
Ableton Live,
and the third grabbed data from a weather station on Whidbey Island and
sonified the wind speed report.

-- you will need this on your iPhone (or iPad) to stream OSC data from
the MUSE headset

needed
weather data streaming
- openweathermap.org
-- the main page for the "openweathermap" system to get real-time
weather data
- openweathermap API
-- use the 'subscribe' button to get your appid key, and the
"API" button to see the parameters and the html setup for the
data requests (see the "Current Weather Data" for what we did in class)
- How to make an API call
-- the parameters used to set up the data request, and how to interpret
the results
