The Heart Rate Monitor program for the PSP was developed after the creator experimented with a commercial heart rate monitor that included a chest transmitter and a watch. By using a coil of copper wire connected to the PSP’s microphone input, it was able to detected the signal from the transmitter.
Building on their previous work Audio Mechanica, the PSP Heart Rate Monitor was created which can display heart rate and related statistics on the screen.
