Communication Framework For the Mionix Naos QG Mouse: For Online and Offline Usage

The Mionix Naos QG mouse has multiple sensors integrated. It can record all the metrics native to mice: being scroll, clicks and mouse movements. Moreover, this mouse has heart rate (HR) and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) sensors embedded. Through Mionics API [1] WebSocket can be used to access all its data. This access has been demonstrated through Javascript in a local hosted webpage. In this page the measurements can be recorded to a .txt file and streamed to another .txt file. The latter file can be accessed in Unity to either send the data further through UPD, use the data within Unity or be recorded. Another Unity implementation have been developed as well. This was directly connected to the WebSocket, and has the same properties as the first Unity development. Since two nearly identical implementations were made, the quality of their recordings and data communication were tested. Based on the test the Unity implementation, which was directly connected to the Mionix HUB had higher GSR temporal accuracy, but showed more errors in its data acquisition process.
