DiABlu Mailman and DiABlu SMS2OSC (2008)

The initial DiABlu Project has been enhanced and a new tool has been developed and another is on the way:

DiABlu Mailman - Allows sending and receiving bluetooth files by any OSC-capable application.

DiABlu SMS2OSC - Allows sending and receiving SMS by any OSC-capable application using a standard mobile phone.

The initial versions of these tools have been developed by Pedro Santos.

Public Sound Objects for Casa da Música (2007/2008)

The original PSOs system was adapted to be used as an installation in Casa da Música.

You can see photos in my Flickr PSOCM set and my blog entries about PSO.

The project home page is maintained by Álvaro Barbosa.

eDGe (2007)

I had a very small participation (OSC programming, with the oscpack library by Ross Bencina) in this performance video-art project made by the SWAP Project Team - Tiago Dionísio and Rudolfo Quintas.

Digital Arts' Bluetooth – DiABlu (2006)

The purpose of the DiABlu system is to allow applications often used by digital artists (like Max/Msp, Pure Data, Processing, Eyesweb, Flash, etc) to be able to detect the presence of bluetooth devices (cell phones) and allow users to interact with the application/installation by means of a bluetooth device.

Public Sound Objects – PSOs (2004/2005/2006)

I implemented (in Java and Pure Data) the new versions of Public Sound Objects project -- a geographically displaced music collaboration system.
More on the PSOs system on http://www.iua.upf.es/~abarbosa/.

One of the first versions of the PSO Server (Pure Data) required me to develop a new object: the eXtended netreceive object -- similar to [netreceive] but outputs the connection's IP address and port number. It is based on [netreceive] and [maxlib_netserver].

Sound Data Mining – SDM (2003/2004)

The aim was to develop a sonification system that could be used in various applications. We developed a Pure-Data based sonification server (see the SoundServer: Data Sonification On-Demand for Computational Instances paper) and a prototype mobile phone application for air-quality forecast that used sonification to transmit the air-quality parameters.

Mobile GIS – MGIS (2003)

Estágio no INESC Porto.

O objectivo do projecto era desenvolver um sistema que permitisse a visualização de informação geográfica (no formato GML) em dispositivos móveis, nomeadamente telemóveis e PDAs.

O sistema foi desenvolvido usando uma arquitectura cliente/servidor tendo por base a tecnologia Java. No caso do cliente, a tecnologia Java usada foi o J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition). A informação geográfica em formato GML era servida por um WFS, sendo transformada em SVG e enviada ao cliente. Os pedidos ao servidor, em ambos os casos, são feitos através de HTTP. Para se poder visualizar documentos SVG no cliente foi necessário implementar um interpretador de SVG (''parser'' de SVG) e um visualizador de SVG.

Este projecto foi apresentado nalgumas conferências (ver página de publicações)).

O relatório está disponível ''online''.
