What?

The "Pulse Of The City" is an interactive art installation that was in SF, CA and Boston, MA.

Here is the scenario:

• We measure the heart beat of a passer-by

• We notify him with LEDs strips

• The measured heart beat value controls the playback speed of pseudo-randomly selected music tracks

• These data are stored and sent every day

How?

Technically, it consists of the following:

• An arduino reads the heart beat sensor and controls LEDs

• A raspberry pi plays music and send data with a 3G module

• All of it is solar powered, and the energy is stored in batteries
