Various sensors and interfaces for capturing data : unlimited interactive art !
Electronic cards for data capture are available in : Simple sensors, ADC interfaces for simple sensors and direct Midi sensors.
Simple sensors are a set of modules that measure information in the real world and provide information in the form of a voltage variation (5V).
To obtain their measurements, they need to be connected to an ADC interface, which sends usable messages (Midi, OSC, etc.) to create an interactive device. ADCs are analog-to-digital signal converters.
Direct sensors incorporate this converter and don't need a sensor interface to connect them: they send their data directly in a protocol understood by the computer, software or programming environment that manages the interactive device.
