Using Mobile Devices Sensors as input for Pure Data

Presenter: Antonio Deusany de Carvalho Junior, ScD candidate at IME/USP

Pure Data (PD) is a computer music language used to create musical applications that has been increasingly integrated into mobile applications since the development of libpd. Sensors2PD (aka S2PD) was developed in order to facilitate the use of sensors in Android devices as input for PD patches. S2PD is going to be presented at this seminar with some demonstrations in order to show that it can be used in new musical applications aimed at performances with mobile devices.

Currently, all sensors in Android devices can be used as input for receivers on PD patches with S2PD. Also, touch position on the screen and WiFi signal levels can also be used as input. The audience will have the opportunity to test and discuss the application during this talk.
