Microsoft plans smartwatch to measure heart rate - report
2014-05-30 12:04:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Microsoft is developing its first wearable device, a smartwatch that measures heart rate and syncs with smartphones, Forbes reports. The device will draw on optical engineering expertise from Microsoft's Xbox Kinect division to measure heart rate continuously, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the company's plans. It was unclear when the device would be launched. The watch will work with Windows phones, as well as Android and iOS devices. The watch will look similar to the Samsung Gear Fit and feature a full-color touch screen positioned on the inside of the wearer's wrist, to make it easier to view notifications and more private. The company has created a software platform to go with the smartwatch that will correlate data from the device's sensors, giving a more accurate read on heart rate and fitness, the report said.
