Description

oscHook plots device sensor measurements and sends them in form of OSC messages.

Supported are:
- light
- accelerometer
- linear acceleration
- orientation (compass)
- beacon distances
- distances to phones with activated exposure notifications
- GPS (absolute and relative to a position of your choice)
- audio SPL /maximum frequency.

It is possible to configure the OSC address names, scaling and smoothing of the data, the timing and the IP / port of the receiver.

oscHook periodically measures the all these sensor data and generates OSC messages. You can receive these OSC messages with various kinds of musical or visual performance programs, like TouchDesigner, Ableton Live (with Max for Live), Resolume Arena, Reaper, etc. Check out a demo how to receive OSC light messages and process them to control MIDI at https://bitbucket.org/constanze/oschook2/src/master/doc/demos/oschook_note%20Project.zip. Take it as a starting point to realize your own ideas!

The app is able to run in background, thus it can reliably generate OSC data for a long period of time. Please note that a number of permissions are required and you will be asked for it once you select a sensor.

You have questions how to use oscHook? Or how to interprete the measurements? Or cool ideas of new features? Please get in contact with us at google play or via twitter: @holllyhook (trippple L).

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Awesome! Using it as an essential tool in an interactive installation!😎👍
5 ★Straight forward and great in PD, Max-MSP, etc.
5 ★It works pretty nice with TouchDesigner combined with Wekinator <3
4 ★How to stream data to blender?
5 ★Does perfectly what it says
5 ★Super 5 star review. It's great for the installation work I do using TouchDesigner
4 ★This is really cool! Lots of fun data to work with! I have one qualm: it can only send data as quickly as 100 ms, while other apps (touchOSC for example) can send data at much higher frequencies. This is very limiting. If there is a way that the developer could increase the frequency of messages, I would be willing to pay them for their efforts!
5 ★Does one thing and does it well! Thank you!
5 ★Very nice! Exactly what I was looking for.
5 ★It just works, thanks!
5 ★This app is very handy if you need a straightforward option to relay sensor data to OSC. I'm using it on 2 devices. In one of them compass data wasn't registering, I contacted the developer and, voilà, everything works now. Thank you!!
4 ★It seems like it has a lot of potential, I am having some trouble mapping my midi parameters though. Normally I use one or two ways: One way is just to name the path via the parameters settings in the instrument or filter I want to control/ The easiest way is to use the 'learn' function. You activate "Learn" on the filter parameter and then move the controller, In this case an accelerometer monitoring pitch/yaw detection, and it automatically maps your path. However, since several sensors activate simultaneously to construct position data, the "Learn" function doesn't work. Which makes sense. So my question is: how do I edit the controller path from the phone to the filter? Glad to see you're around! The website had me worried!
