Interactive art generated from emotional states | Paint Your Emotions¶
The proposed project is a hybrid art–technology system that translates physiological data from the human body into generative visual environments. Using skin conductance (GSR) and / or ECG heartbit data captured via a wearable sensor, the system produces real-time visual output.
