#PennApps-Spring-2016 #Inspiration We wanted to make a relevant and fun app that people would enjoy using, which is how we came up with the Star Wars theme. (We also wanted to prove that Gabriela likes Kylo Ren more than Finn). This is our first hackathon, so we wanted to build a simple project that works end-to-end and have fun with a humorous hack. We're also all interested in hardware and thought it would be really cool to learn how to use a pulse sensor.

#What it does Using a pulse sensor and an Arduino, we have designed a Buzzfeed-type quiz to reveal your Star Wars soulmate. The user wears a small pulse sensor around their fingertip while looking at photos of different characters from the recent movie, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. For each displayed image, the pulse sensor takes a certain number of samples and records the highest value. At the end, the character whose photo generated the quickest pulse - the most excitement! - is displayed as your romantic match.
