This is very cool! Skip a Beat that world’s first heart rate controlled game using only your iPhone. Your heart rate is measured using the camera lens of your phone. The heart rate is used as an input for the game that affects the score multiplier. Using the app, you get insight into your heart rate in a fun way: Quantified self meets gamification. Skip a Beat is the first game in the Health & Fitness section. @ysharb is the founder, he can answer some Q's!

Hi PH! I am the founder of Happitech. Super happy to be hunted thank you Bram! We spend 1.5 year iterating to get to this solution after experimenting with wearables like heart & brain wave monitors. Now, anyone with an iPhone can experience biofeedback / neurogaming and playing with their heart! Happy to answer any questions you might have straight from Casual Connect Amsterdam [p.s Internet is really sucky at times. New Idea for PHer: Stable wifi during conferences]

I hope no hardcore gamer will die from a heart attack.

@pierrickgt We thought about it! That's why we limit the maximum heart rate to 98 so that people won't over exhaust their heart to get a highscore
