zephyr open

a java based framework for sensors

Zephyr Open is an open source code project to provide a framework for BlueTooth Physiological Sensors. Heart rate Monitors and Wii Remotes are obvious starting points, but we will continue to grow the device list as they enter the market. What kind of mash-ups can you envision? Games for rehab? Distributed game play? Virtual coaching?

With the framework is a simple SWING Application to search and connect to Zephyr products. Users can connect devices and view reports in real time. This data can also be streamed to the web via FTP or directly into your gmail account via ATOM feeds.

We will be releasing Free VO2max testing and Estimation software for OSX, PC and cell phones. You can edit, graph and export your data from the Google Documents web application. Totally free to stream your data and do basic fitness tests, but full featured applications will be licensed. This also is a perfect tool for education and several masters students have contributed with suggestions and bug reports.
