#sxsw #biosensors

Biosensors are now able to measure crowd motion, mood and more. Whether it be live or for streaming digital media, biosensors allow performances to adapt to audiences so that no two are alike, but each is perfect for the occasion, and unique every time. Technology, music and industry experts come together to present and imagine future technologies revolutionizing artist-to-audience interactions. Technology that can create music from heart beats, visuals from emotions and audience-adapting experiences are just the beginning.
