This app is not as cool as I originally thought :(( though you can access the basic measuring tool for free and it does seem to work generally well, all of the other cool functionalities are locked behind a $10/week paywall which I could not imagine being worth it unless you are able to complete whatever capture you need to do during the 3 day free trial period. For the basic free functionalities just use the free or built in visual measuring apps.

This piece by Jay Vidyarthi uses a strap wrapped around a participant’s chest to measure their breathing. This breathing is then translated into various sound patterns, including sound effects, music, and recordings of people speaking. Other than the sound feedback from their breathing, the participant is deprived of sensory input to allow them to focus more on the auditory experience. The goal of this piece is to deepen the participant’s meditative experience by having the only input they receive from their environment directly reflect the behavior of their own body, allowing them to be more mindful of it.

When experimenting with the capture tools in class on Tuesday, one that particularly caught my attention was the extremely sensitive touchpad with a very large number of tracked touch points. One way that I would want to use this tool is to place it on the bed of an axidraw, cover it with a sheet of paper and create a feedback cycle where the movement of the axidraw is dictated by the pressure of the pen held by the axidraw on the touchpad through the paper. If I find a clever way to convert the signal received by the touchpad into commands for the axidraw, I could potentially create a really interesting feedback loop.

This isn’t the same as the touchpad you had but I was struggling to find that specific one online and this one has all of the same important features as the one in class.
