Techincal Requirements

The Biosignal Platform requires specific hardware and software to function effectively, and collecting the necessary biometric data.

Hardware

Computer specifications:

  • At least 8 GB of RAM.

  • A modern processor:

    • 8th generation Intel or newer;

    • AMD Ryzen 5 2600 / Ryzen 7 2700 or newer.

  • A dedicated Nvidia GPU or an integrated Intel GPU.

  • A working internet connection.

  • A Bluetooth adapter.

Note: AMD GPU's, both integrated and dedicated, are not currently fully supported, and might cause visual artifacts.

Sensors specifications:

  • Biosensors: Shimmer3 GSR+ Unit, for tracking GSR and PPG (PPG data is algorithmically translated into heart rate). Read more about the Shimmer here.

  • Eye Tracker: any modern webcam, at least 720p recording at 60 FPS. The webcam should have a narrow field of view (FOV) of 50-80° for optimal eye and head tracking performance.

Note: A higher frame rate is more important than higher resolution for eye tracking accuracy.

Software

  • Windows 10 or newer.

  • A copy of the Cinematronic Biosignal Platform with a valid license key. The software can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store. For license keys, contact [email protected] or fill out the form on our website.

  • For eye tracking, a copy of Beam Eye Tracker with a valid license key. If Beam is installed, the Cinematronic Biosignal Platform can automatically use its eye tracking capabilities.
