Apps that provided mindfulness training and education were included. Methods: A search for “mindfulness” was conducted in iTunes and Google Apps Marketplace. It also aimed to describe features of selected high-quality mindfulness apps. Objective: This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of mindfulness-based iPhone mobile apps and to evaluate their quality using a recently-developed expert rating scale, the Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS). While there are hundreds of such apps, there is little information on their quality. Mindfulness-based mobile apps may have potential as an alternative delivery medium for training. This project also looks to the practices of Yoga and Tai Chi breathing techniques for inspiration on what form the interactions will take.īackground: There is growing evidence for the positive impact of mindfulness on wellbeing. To practice mindfulness using interactive technology, the application will adopt the framework of the attention-regulation process (ARP) – which in ARP the two mechanisms of Detection and Feedback allow technology to ‘detect’ the users’ interaction without interrupting the users’ state, and give soft ‘feedback’ to stimulate the users’ meta- awareness – “in a conscious state, thinking about your situational awareness”, allowing for effortless reflection, and achieving a deeper state of mindfulness. Gesture tracking or skeletal tracking technologies will be the focus of this project as the means of interacting with the application. This thesis explores this innovative combination of technology and mindfulness, creating a potential platform for interactive meditation.
#MAX MSP GSWITCH FOR SIGNALS SOFTWARE#
In response to this, electronic engineers & software developers have taken the methods of mindfulness meditation and applied it to technology. Your proposed factors a,(1-a) will yield overall volume changes sinceĪ^2+(1-a)^2 = 1 -2a+2a^2 which is not constant.Mental illness is a growing concern among the general population, with many looking to mindfulness and meditation as a means to improve mental wellbeing. Setting the second angle to be the first angle +3/4 shifts the factor from cos to sin, and has it vary in the opposite sense. I'm pretty sure that the cycle's are not "running" - they are just a way to compute cos(phi) and sin( phi)=cos( phi+0.75) in a manner that produces a signal (as opposed to a control), they have not had a frequency input into their first port.Īs the first "angle" varies from 0 to 0.25, the cos factor varies from 0 to 1. If we have two independent signals of the same net power, then the output power will be the same as the input power.Īngles are represented as "fractions of a whole rotation" The resulting power is = (cos^2 phi) + (sin^2 phi)*+ cos(phi)*sin(phi)* I also suspect that using trig functions here helps the "intuitive" feel of the control parameter. the sum of the squares of the factors remain constant, Trigonometric functions are used here since sin^2 phi + cos^2 phi =1 - i.e.
The reason why this is used is due to the fact that, although we deal with the amplitudes of signals, volume is related to the (mean) power, i.e. The underlying math is out=cos(phi)*signal_1 + sin(phi)*signal_2
