# 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.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note: AMD GPU's, both integrated and dedicated, are not currently fully supported, and might cause visual artifacts.
{% endhint %}

**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](https://shimmersensing.com/product/shimmer3-gsr-unit/).
* **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. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: A higher frame rate is more important than higher resolution for eye tracking accuracy.
{% endhint %}

### 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](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/xpdp1l4lhc980s?hl=en-gb\&gl=DK). For license keys, contact *<sales@cinematronic.dk>* or fill out the form on our [website](https://cinematronic.dk/).
* For eye tracking, a copy of [Beam Eye Tracker](https://beam.eyeware.tech/) with a valid license key. If Beam is installed, the **Cinematronic Biosignal Platform** can automatically use its eye tracking capabilities.
