Basically it showed that we imperceptibly blink and undulate like freaky globular aliens, and even consumer level cameras can pick it up. Not so different than a deep ocean jellyfish. Really fascinating stuff, so I'm looking forward to the Android version of your app.
Let me know if you want a beta tester for Android. I can test if it matches the heart rate monitor on the stationary bike, and there's all kinds of weird lighting at the gym I go to. Plus I do HIIT, so my heart is purposely increased/decreased to significantly different target rates every few minutes.
We're always happy for more beta testers, especially with a variety of diverse situations and environments (true heart rate, lighting conditions, etc).
To sign up as a beta tester, fill out the Android Sign Up form at https://heartrate.hedronvision.com/ - that will let us reach out with a beta app when we build it!
Check it out if you can — it downloads really quickly, and it's free!
But there are definitely edge cases that are hard to control for--a faint, pulsing red light would probably be the worst one.
