Halovision Changelog

What's new in Halovision 1.2.6

Aug 17, 2022
  • Dabbled in synthesizing and added options to configure the wave form as sin, sawtooth, square, triangle, sweep or pink noise.

New in Halovision 1.2.5 (Aug 15, 2022)

  • Added audio visualizations for stairway to heaven and toss channel.

New in Halovision 1.2.4 (Aug 15, 2022)

  • Smoothed out the sine waves with portamenti when auralizing graph values in real time.

New in Halovision 1.2.3 (Aug 14, 2022)

  • Migrated audio libraries for graph sound visualization to Lucid Scribe so they can be replayed with audio.

New in Halovision 1.2.2 (Aug 14, 2022)

  • Added numbers and backspace and enter keys to Morse code.

New in Halovision 1.1.9 (Aug 14, 2022)

  • Added error handling when outputting graph to audio.

New in Halovision 1.1.8 (Aug 13, 2022)

  • Added accessibility features and an option to read out Morse code letters.

New in Halovision 1.1.7 (Aug 13, 2022)

  • Added a RAW vision channel that takes more samples per second and improved the quality of the audio representation of the graph.

New in Halovision 1.1.6 (Aug 12, 2022)

  • Added an option to Auralize or listen to the graph – it plays a sound at the frequency of the Halovision channel, the amount of change measured between video frames. An audio mirror, if you will.

New in Halovision 1.1.5 (May 1, 2022)

  • Updated installer requirement to .NET Framework 4.8.

New in Halovision 1.1.3 (Feb 3, 2022)

  • Set the default idle tick configuration to 8.

New in Halovision 1.1.2 (Jan 27, 2022)

  • Added a config option for the amount of idle ticks that need to pass before a new eye movement is counted and saved changed frames to jpg instead of png when the Record Video checkbox is checked.

New in Halovision 1.1.1 (Jan 5, 2022)

  • Added an option to the advanced settings to call the “Lucid Scribe Trigger” task in Tasker (free trial). Simply add a new task called “Lucid Scribe Trigger” and it will be played instead of the audio track. Make sure that “Allow External Access” is checked under Preferences / Misc in Tasker.

New in Halovision 1.1.0 (Jan 2, 2022)

  • Optimized memory usage as it was still growing on some systems. And added detail to the motion highlighting.

New in Halovision 1.0.9 (Dec 31, 2021)

  • Added configuration options for eye movement minimum and maximum values with optional channels that can be enabled.

New in Halovision 1.0.5 (Oct 16, 2019)

  • Added facial detection so that it only looks for movements within a region where a face was detected.
  • The file haarcascade.xml can be replaced with one of these or a custom cascade classifier for better performance.

New in Halovision 1.0.4 (May 10, 2016)

  • Weeded out some more false negatives – if there is a large movement, it waits 10 seconds before counting eye movements again.

New in Halovision 1.0.3 (Apr 26, 2016)

  • Tweaked the algorithm to weed out some more false negatives

New in Halovision 1.0.2 (Apr 22, 2016)

  • Improved the algorithm… it was missing REM episodes where the eye movements stopped for more than 5 seconds before the stairway to heaven was reached.
  • Episodes like in the following minute, where there is a 10 second break in eye movements around the 30 second mark, will now keep counting and trigger the audio tracks:

New in Halovision 1.0.1 (Apr 22, 2016)

  • Ensured that the video feed is always top-most.

New in Halovision 1.0.0 (Apr 22, 2016)

  • Added an option for halovision devices where the headband used to be listed and the webcams / built-in cameras are listed.

New in Halovision 0.9.9 (Apr 22, 2016)

  • Made the stairway to heaven shorter again, the REM detection should be almost perfect now.

New in Halovision 0.9.8 (Apr 22, 2016)

  • Made the stairway longer to climb, but faster. This makes it more likely to trigger on rapid eye movements and less likely to trigger when settling down for the night. And added an extra filter to discard small movements that are within a second of large movements, as the ignore filter was sometimes being bypassed by small movements in the wake of large movements.

New in Halovision 0.9.7 (Apr 22, 2016)

  • Added an “Ignore Percentage” filter variable to the algorithm. It ignores any movements that go over that amount of the video feed. So if it is set to 50% and more than half of the pixels have changed, it will ignore it. It defaults to 16% – anything more than that probably isn’t just the eyes moving during sleep paralysis…

New in Halovision 0.9.6 (Apr 22, 2016)

  • Added an option to record the video feed along with the Lucid Scribe Data files under \User\Documents\lucidcode\Lucid Scribe\Days\.

New in Halovision 0.9.5 (Apr 22, 2016)

  • Made the program files path dynamic.
