Vena Cava uses a webcam to isolate the green channel from the video feed and analyzes the change to determine a heart rate. This uses the same technology that NASA uses to monitor astronauts on camera.
The platform game is the an adventure of Jaquin that cactus on the the search for water. The goal is to reach the water before your heart rate accelerates (you become frustrated, upset, or excited).
