I've changed the LED to pulse at early interactions, blinking was too crude indeed.

Maybe Microsoft asked "GPT5" for an innovative way to takeover ; )

Looks fun, thanks for the X ref. Will try again later when back at desktop and send over a debugger if still same issue! Nice idea!

Not working for when I tried. I wonder if I print a set of open eyes and test your game.... Will it detect the trick? Would I win or get banned? Jokes aside, eager to test ; )

I didn't like the blinking at first, so I made it pulse instead (smoother) but was never to the point of headaches. that said, sound should work if you can keep a headset ; )

Looks good! Try doing one on a physical device too... My settings are just related to fade after reaching target or turn off immediately, Led colour (my ESP32 has a RGB onboard) and blink or pulse. Then there is a Start & Stop rate (15

Nice one! I will be curious to learn if that works for others too. In my case v.1 and 2 were apps with a similar on screen red dot like yours. Much smaller and first placed at the status-bar (like the cock ":" blinking) then float

My guess is that may be working more like a simple "maestro" telling your brain orchestra and heart drummer to reduce the speed from Heavy metal to Ballad and that somehow makes easy to focus in what's in front of you? I make

In principle yes, Anything you get aware that goes fast-to-slow in a smooth gradient is the idea. I tried sound (beats) on a headphone with some tracks, then build a tiny app to show pixels on the screen (blink) and then settled on a LED on

Hope it works for you too ; ) Try without a heart monitor first (cheap and easy to build) then improve as you see fit!

We use on video-applications when pre processing them, the idea is to sense stress levels when the applicant is introducing themselves at the start of the video and then not reducing their scores or points when the same person gets shy of b

I see, well in that case just search for ESP32 on Amazon and get one for a $5, then look for a few videos on Youtube who to program for a ESP32 board and you will probably learn as a first example something to control the board's LED.

That's cool! I get stressed just looking at it ; ) Jokes aside, whatever works... For me a side device with a pulsating red light with a heart sync for the lope do the gig! Deadlines comes free. Nice one!

Sure, May do a pic later when back home, meanwhile... I used this ESP32 board, it has RGB LED right in the middle, here is a web picture of one: https://dfimg.dfrobot.com/nobody/wiki/8a1de42ec21a99f36f69da... Its

Really interesting to learn about your solution for you daughter, great to see it works and appreciated the comment of my approach being an underrated one. My case isn't anything as relevant as yours and maybe that's why I did not

I didn't look too much into it but I too have seen something long time past about patterns with light from a TV on some of those documentaries from the 80's, basically about people trying advertising with subjective flashes to ind

Nice, Let me know how if works for you, for me only the hardware (led outside the screen perimeter) works best.

Not for interviews, video-applications, is used to sense stress and give extra points (not deducting them) if a person is indeed just too shy of being on video vs talking about something ; )

Just use any blinking LED template code that your OEM offers for your particular board (ESP32 or alike) as it will be specific for the PIN the LED is wired and libraries available, etc. Basically a function slope with a value from 150 to 60

No really what I was trying to say but get your point. The idea is that you sit at your desk even if too agitated and remove the visual distractions that aren't work so your eyes will either look at work or the blinking led. I have an

You can't lose as even if it does not work much for you, you will get the building pleasure for sure.

It's like a maestro, guiding you down with light not sound or words. So, yes. Done at PFC level probably ; )
