In advance of Nintendo'sE3 2010 press conference, Ubisoft has announced a new game that will use a heart rate sensor much like how I imagine the Nintendo Vitality Sensor will be used for its respective games. The title is called Innergy and its being described as "a new solution to control stress."
The gist of how the game works is tied to your resting heartbeat. A slower resting heart rate will somehow manipulate whatever is going on in the game. Innergy is also an instructional program that teaches users how to calm down, identify sources of stress, and breath slower. In turn, Ubisoft claims this reduces stress--even after short, five-to-ten minute sessions.
