heartbeat
Space production system that changes depending on heartbeat
In recent years, the market for activity monitors that can measure heartbeats has been growing, and many products have been released for the purpose of health management and daily life recording.
However, in the field of entertainment, the field of entertainment that uses heartbeats is still unexplored, and there is still room for development.
Therefore, using an activity tracker that can be easily worn on the wrist, we created ``Heartbeat,'' an entertainment piece that can be easily enjoyed by everyone in an open space.Heartbeats, which are normally difficult to notice and control, are converted into sounds and images that humans can perceive, making them aware.
