SenseStage website now live
The website for the SenseStage project is now live, with download links for all the software tools being developed for the project. The project features:
- Wireless Sensor Hardware: A small, custom designed PCB board that can be worn on the wrist, sewn into clothing, or embedded in objects.
- Data Sharing Environment: Collaborators subscribe to any data streams they want to use, and supply data streams of their own for use by other collaborators.
- Real-Time Control Of Media: In development are modules allowing for analysis of data streams providing building blocks that generate complex behaviours for output media.
Video from SenseStage workshop
Here's a video showing some of the projects and feedback generated by the SenseStage Workshop held May 16-23, 2009. SenseStage is a collaborative project between the IDMIL and labXmodal at Concordia Unversity; the workshop was held to begin exploration of new hardware and software tools developed for using low-cost, distributed sensing in the media arts.

Introducing the MiniBee
The MiniBee is a small, arduino-like circuit board designed for the SenseStage project, a collaboration between the IDMIL and Chris Salter's lab at Concordia University. The boards include the footprint for a XBee mesh-networking wireless transceiver, creating compact, low-cost sensing nodes which we are now using for investigating ubiquitous computing in the media arts.
The first batch of 100 MiniBee Rev.A boards have been manufactured, assembled and successfully tested
