GyrOSC vs CoMote

GyrOSC is a lightweight utility that sends your device's motion sensors to any OSC (Open Sound Control) capable application over Wi-Fi. Wirelessly control your OSC capable audio or video app by moving and tilting your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. Wirelessly send: • Gyroscope {pitch, roll, yaw} • Accelerometer {x-axis, y-axis, z-axis} • Compass {magnetic heading} • GPS {latitude, longitude, altitude, course, speed, time} • Quaternion {w, x, y, z} • Rotation matrix {m1 ... m16} • Rotation rate {x-axis, y-axis, z-axis} • Gravity {x-axis, y-axis, z-axis} • Magnetic field {x-axis, y-axis, z-axis} • Altitude {m, kPa} Control any live audio or video application that supports OSC messaging. Some examples include Max/MSP, Pure Data, Processing, Plogue Bidule, Isadora, and more. Features: - Customize message tags - Save and load addresses for quick setup - Screen lock for performance - Gyroscope orientation reset button - Control buttons to send OSC messages GyrOSC will automatically detect the available sensors in your device.

CoMote is an application that transmits the smartphone movement sensors values (accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers) in real time using WiFi. Connected to applications such as CoMo or Koral, the smartphone becomes a gestural musical instrument, enabling sounds to be triggered and modified by movement. Setting the WiFi network parameters is made easy by using a QR code generated by the application. The CoMote application can be used with any software that uses the OSC protocol or Websockets. CoMote is being developed by the Interaction-Sound-Music-Movement team at IRCAM (STMS-lab Ircam - CNRS - Sorbonne University) in partnership with the association Arts Convergences. With the support of : Fondation MAAF, Fondation Falret, Département des Yvelines, and the Afnic Foundation (Fondation de France). Until version 1.2 CoMote was produced with the support of: Éducation Nationale (Edu-up) and Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ELEMENT project).
