I've read about this research before (in fact I think it was years ago 
that MIT did the "magic mirror" where they showed your heart rate on a 
mirror, obtained using digital camera and similar analysis), but this 
article is the first where I have seen a video of the color-and-motion 
amplification results.  The wrist shot at 0:43 to 0:53 is stunning.  
Looks like a pretty cool app for a wearable display unit...
