Integral video game and cardio-waveform display
First Claim
1. A video game having particular characteristics to be played by at least one player, said video game comprising:
- a control means for allowing said at least one player to physically interact with said video game;
a means for sensing the cardio-waveform of said at least one player to produce a signal representative thereof;
a processing means for integrating said signal of said cardio-waveform into said particular characteristics of said video game;
a display means for displaying said particular characteristics of said video game with said integrated signal representative of said at least on player'"'"'s cardio wave-form.

Abstract
A video game which incorporates a video game player'"'"'s cardio-waveform into the video display and integrates the wave-form with the activities of the video game being played. A cardio-waveform sensor is attached to a video game player. The sensor produces a signal which is transmitted to an input interface of a micro-processor. A joystick or other control system which enables a player to control the play of the video game is also attached to the input interface of the micro-processor. The micro-processor produces a display signal dependant on the signal'"'"'s generated from the joystick and cardio-waveform sensor. The player'"'"'s cardio-waveform is also displayed on the video display and is incorporated into the activities of the game being played. In one embodiment the cardio-waveform represents a boundary which confines the activities of a roaming icon.
