Developing Google Glass application showing the Heart Beat Rate

Wearable Sensors + Google Glass Wearable sensors  are a lot of fun! I played with them for some time by now, both professionally (at work), and for the coding pleasure. This post is about my latest weekend project - native google glasses app showing heart rate. The idea is to continuously measure hear rate using the sensor and to show pulse rate in real time, for example, while running or exercising. Honestly, I did not find running with Google Glasses to be much fun (as they tend to fell off when I am running), but to see what makes my heart beat faster is an interesting and educational experience. Google Glass (GG) Turns out to be a nice piece of hardware that is a fun to work with: reasonably fast processor, Android 4.0.1, wide range of sensors, WiFi, and Bluetooth interface!
