Overview:
Smart Meditate is a meditation app that reads the users heart rate in order to lead their meditation by guided breathing and binaural beats. Smart Meditate diverges from meditation apps that use a one fits all audio voice recording for guided meditations. The app will use the phone's camera and flash to measure the user's heart rate. Animations help to guide the user's breathing. This animation slows as the session progresses and the user's heart rate decreases. The binaural beats also aim to calm the user, and change based on the user's heart rate and the progress of the session.
