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 [e-mail] 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.
