Until I read the project description, I wondered if somehow that radial representation included a whole range of contributed heartbeats. And that the word "one" was a comment on it being something that unites all living people.
I wonder if a huge range of people around the world did it, if there might be some interesting data to mine regarding differences from one region to another, or by occupation, age and so on.
I wondered that too. When I was learning about timing and synchronization in distributed systems, I thought about building an app with a fake "heartbeat" that attempts to sync between everyone viewing the page.
Had a brief moment when seeing this (before I read the description) of "Cool! someone finally made it!"
Looks beautiful, the description says its not live data but from the day before because she has to use USB to get the data from the device twice a day. Its also just based on a normalized per minute heartrate. So i guess there are no practical consumer devices that transmit the heartbeat in realtime...that could be really interesting :)

A $50 BLE Polar HR strap and an iPhone app that one could whip up in a weekend. Using Apple's BLE sample app as a start, probably wouldn't even take an afternoon for an MVP.
There was an old apple app (I think called death clock), that when you opened it you entered your birthday and it would tell you how long you have to live. Every time you opened it would just recalc. Always counting even when not running. It was a little freaky.

(I probably stared at that for a good 15 minutes the first time I saw it.)

I'm at work at this time and my heart rate is usually between 55 and 60 while working.
