Installation
'47
Desoto owned by Ken Romo, San Jose local was the HBBB car
for the exhibition. It not only looked beautiful but also
pumped out the heartbeat bass from the two large subwoofers
in the trunk.
Many motor
fans visited the exhibition booth and played their heartbeat
from the mobile audio.
Ken is an
EKG technician at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. This
was such an interesting coincidence.

HBBB
- totally new and improved
New
sensor
In the previous
version, the pulse oximeter heart beat sensor produced a
lot of noise when the person moved. The new EKG sensor produces
very few noises and is far more reliable than the previous
version. With new sensor, visitors only need to grip on
the electrodes wrapped on the steering wheel to listen to
their heartbeats. The new system is also capable to work
with wireless chest band sensor for optimum stability.
New
programming
David
Tinapple wrote an entire new Max/MSP code to implement
the new sensor. With the combination of the new sensor,
the system became very stable and reliable. New features
were added to the interface such as, sound equalizer, music
control panel, BPM automatic reset, and music frequency
graph.
