If you have a pulse, you won't need to swipe.
Texas marketing and advertising firm T3 is developing a hands-free Tinder-like app (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD0kuwi9ClE) for the Apple Watch that measures your heart rate as you view potential dates. If your pulse quickens, it's a match. No right swipe necessary.

The app is intended to launch when the new Apple Watch OS software becomes available to users, a T3 spokeswoman told The Huffington Post. (Apple has said (https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2015/06/08Apple-Previews-New-Apple-Watch-Software.html) that would be this fall. )
While the app's follow-your-heart sentiment is admirable, AdWeek noted that our pulses normally tend to fluctuate. The media outlet noted a few other potential flaws: "What if I had a pacemaker? (http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/hands-free-tinder-apple-watch-checks-your-heartbeat-make-match-165815) Or a heart murmur? Or one of those coal-fired difference engine hearts like Dick Cheney?"
Apple sold an estimated 4.5 million watches in the last quarter (http://fortune.com/2015/07/07/apple-watch-estimates-analysts/), according to Fortune, so just imagine the matchmaking possibilities. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
