BioBeats: Adaptive Media Blends Heart With Music
BioBeats has merged entertainment and healthcare into their first experimental app, Pulse. Experiment #2 is coming soon - BioMuse. While Pulse is fun - your heart beat drives the rhythm and force of the music, the main goal for BioBeats is to change the sensory settings around you to improve your health and/or entertainment factor. An example would be playing more upbeat music to make you run faster or changing the music to something slower when your heart rate reaches its peak. On the entertainment side, knowing how a person's biometrics react to a scene in a movie could encourage movie producers to change the music/lighting to engage with the way a person feels. The company is "built on a cloud-based responsive platform designed to support the management of chronic conditions and general wellness," so I'm sure they are working on clinical and hospital functioning apps as well.BioBeats and Far East Movement created an event that was powered by over 1.5 million heart beats, see the video they made below:[vimeo 70625074 w=500 h=281]Turn Up The Love from BioBeats Inc. on Vimeo.
