From one of my last experiment , I tried to change the data input. Instead of using audio, I replaced it with OSC data from my Muse headset. To connect your OSC device to TouchDesigner, make sure that the IP address and port number is the same so the data transfer can be accurate. In this case, I use a third-party app called Mind Monitor (available on iOS devices) to connect my Muse headset to the TouchDesigner software. Below are screenshots and videos from my experiment. You can see that the brainwave data is already recorded in real-time in the software. Then I used the alpha, beta, and theta brainwave to change the movement of the visuals (the chosen brainwave data I used are just placeholders for now to see the movement). Then the data is connected with 'noise', which is like the fluid/abstract visuals you see on the background. I also set the colors to be moving/changing over time.

Since Muse headset can deliver brainwave data in the form of OSC, I wanted to try out how to input OSC data to TouchDesigner. To try it out, I searched for how-to's video and article and found this article posted by the TouchDesigner group themselves. In this post, they mentioned that there are several ways to insert the OSC data stream to TouchDesigner by an iOS application; TouchOSC and ZIGSIM. When I searched for both applications, the TouchOSC app is a paid app, while ZIGSIM is free. So I decided to try ZIGSIM. Unfortunately, the article did not explain in detail on how to use the ZIGSIM app on TouchDesigner. So from there, I searched for any ZIGSIM - TouchDesigner related posts and found this . This post from ZIGSIM explains that we can send motion data from our device to PC. There are basically two 'tutorials' that the article showed. The first one is using another app called ZIG Indicator which can help visualize sensor values. However, ZIG Indicator can onl...

This post is to update my experiment on the Thinker Blinker project. Thus far, I had been trying to 'install' the appropriate node.js that are necessary for this project to work. The first thing I need to make sure is the file being in the right folder. In the following picture, we can see that the file I wanted to run is called 'index.js' that is located in /Users/christinedinata/index.js . So I typed 'node index' on my terminal/command prompt page (read more from this post I uploaded previously) to call the file to get it running. However, there are some 'errors' because it says that the computer can't find the osc module. Upon more research on how to handle this problem, it turns out another node is needed.  npm install node-osc (more information h ere ) But when I wanted to install this, there are a lot of issues and errors as well.  This prompt lead me to search more on why I can't install this node-osc. This  per...
