A possible means of measuring a specific resistance of an unknown component, skin for instance is to use a Wheatstone Bridge. Basically by measuring current across the centre of the bridge, and comparing the difference between one side which is a known value, the resistance of the unknown component can be obtained. If the unknown and known resistances were the same, then a current of 0V would flow through the centre.

I have decided to have a separate set of showcase pages for my project, to be used to present information about various aspects. Currently it’s literally just the header design, but this features a wavy line of icons that represent the process:

Since still images don’t quite demonstrate the effects going on in the 3D side of my project, I decided to take a video recording of the liquid as well. It’s not great in terms of quality and could have been composed more fancifully but gives you an idea.

My hunt for circuit schematics has obviously been ongoing for a while but I hadn’t really discovered much worthwhile until lately. Eventually I came across an excellently documented electronics project for producing a polygraph, one measurement of which it is taking is Galvanic Skin Response:

After quite a lot of effort, adding, swapping and killing code I’ve started to get away from having HLSL turning everything a shade of utter grey.
The screenshots show my water mesh which will be one of a few features of this virtual environment which responds to biofeedback data from the avatar’s user.

I’ve uploaded some of the photos taken on Easter Sunday from Dartmoor.

My Initial 3D avatar model idea mocked up in 3D:
The idea is to represent a more traditional aesthetic of meditation, providing a connection between the project and the field of biofeedback’s origins.
Also the development of the environment and the terrain mesh:

Here is a screenshot of my mobile lights floating around the fish model all wrapped up in a micro-terrain:
