In this intimate setting, the DJ noted that he could practically feel the heartbeats of the fans that surrounded him, which is what sparked the idea for the 'Heartbeats Project.' DJ Piotr Bejnar desired a new way to feel connected to his audience, so he and a team of friends created a 3D-printed wearable device that could transmit wearer’s heart rate to his laptop while he DJed. The finished wearable is a [Wi-Fi-enabled branded bracelet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-smart-wristband) with a generous surface area that lights up when it is worn on the wrist. When the bands are worn at a show, Bejnar is able to see the physical effect that his music set has on an audience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Heart-rate Tech Integration:** The trend of integrating heart-rate monitoring technology into event wearables can provide an opportunity for concerts and other events to enhance the connection between attendees and performers. - **Wearable Tech Collaboration:** The trend of artists collaborating with wearable tech companies provides an innovative opportunity to enhance live performances and offer a unique, interactive experience for attendees. - **Interactive Event Experiences:** The trend of creating interactive event experiences through wearables can offer a new level of immersive connection between attendees and performers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** This industry can benefit from integrating wearable technology into live performances, providing a unique and interactive experience for concert goers and other event attendees. - **Fashion:** This industry can collaborate with artists and musicians to enhance wearable technology for events, providing a new level of interactive fashion options. - **Health and Wellness:** This industry can partner with wearable tech companies to provide accurate health monitoring and analysis, potentially integrating with event wearables to provide a unique interactive experience for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Monitoring Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tband.md) - [Heartbeat-Mimicking Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thetouch-locket.md) - [Disease-Detecting Medical Wristbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teltonika.md) - [Optical Fitness Armband Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peloton-heart-rate-band.md) - [User-Powered Health Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bheart.md) - [Heartbeat Rhythmic Smart Lockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thetouch.md) - [Heart-Monitoring Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartmonitoring-earbuds.md) - [Tech-Enhanced Beaded Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soulstones.md) - [Mind-Training Headbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alphabeats-headband.md)
