Apart from the tired PR effort (gawker media-level headline, samefag comments) this project looks really great. I'd love to have that for the insight alone, even though I don't play competitively anymore it seems like it would allow me to understand myself better.
From a data perspective this really interests me and partly because I am a gamer. As the rise of eSports continues, obtaining metrics of professional players might give us insight into what traits professional players have in common (if any).<p>We track metrics of olympic athletes to study where they can improve and what makes a good athlete great, so it only makes sense to see if there is a link between heart rate, eye movement and other metrics and a professional gamer who has what it takes to win.<p>This is surprisingly cool. I probably wouldn't buy one, but it is cool nonetheless.
Come on guys, two green names comments with actually nothing insightful besides a cliche phrase?<p>It's like you are begging to be flagged =/
The heart rate sensor is a gimmick, they need really close contact to work well. You'd need to grip the shit out of your mouse to get a good reading. I don't think anyone can maintain an iron grip on their mouse long enough for the sensor to have any meaning
