Data Tap: Sensor Control

Your phone is full of sensors. Data Tap helps you put them to creative use.

Connect Data Tap to a computer on the same network and use OSC to stream what your phone senses: tilt, rotation and acceleration, fingers on a pad, loudness and pitch from the microphone, brightness and movement from the camera, hand position and pinch, facial expression, distance, and even GPS speed, heading and altitude.

Every value arrives the same way: a number from -1.0 to 1.0, on an address you can read and copy. Nothing needs to be guessed on the receiving end.

WHAT IT SENDS

Motion: tilt, rotation, acceleration Touch: three fingers, with latch Proximity: on or off, a hand's width away Microphone: loudness, pitch, timbre, onsets Camera: brightness, color, movement Hand pose: position, pinch, openness Face tracking: expression and head tilt, plus every ARKit blend shape Depth: continuous distance, out to three meters Stage position: where you have moved, within two meters GPS: speed, heading, altitude, position

SHAPED BEFORE IT LEAVES

Every value has its own smoothing to calm a busy signal, and jitter to excite a steady one. Two global sliders scale all of them at once. A graph on every row clearly displays the outbound signal.

ONE PORT EACH, OR ALL TOGETHER

Send everything to one port, or individual values to different ports, up to fifty above the main one, allowing different tools that bind their own port to each receive different signals from Data Tap at the same time.

RECORD IT

Start a recording and every value is written to a CSV file with an unbroken timeline, ready to open and reuse anywhere. Each CSV file lands in your Files app, yours to copy and use.
