Digitimes is reporting that Pixart Imaging, who ship heart-rate monitoring solutions, are currently ramping up shipments due to the forthcoming Nintendo NX platform. From the sounds of the article it seems that the Nintendo NX will support HRM’s, which if true, goes to show that the Quality of Life initiative isn’t dead yet.
Pixart is expected to complete tape-out of chips supporting VR (virtual reality) technology by year-end 2016, said the paper, adding that the chips will support next-generation Nintendo NX gaming machines.
Interesting
This could make for a cool horror game on NX where the game reacts to your heart rate
I agree. Resident Evil 7 would be taylor-made for that type of tech
There’s a Tetris game on N64 that does that.

people will seem to be exited about it now then later complain that its too gimmicky and no one like gimmicks, truth be told everything is a gimmick, the dual shock 4’s gimmick is the touchpad and the xb elite controller’s gimmick is a lot of things.
If this factors into games’ developments, things are going to get VERY interesting.
it’s good to see the big N is still attempting this good for them.
So… VR confirmed?
