First Lexus with a human heartbeat

Lexus has designed a car that can reflect the driver's heartbeat on the vehicle's exterior using electro-luminescent paint.

 Look's like at Lexus playing with technology is the core activity. After they have created a real, rideable hoverboard, now it's time for a car. A Lexus RC F Coupé painted with a special electro-luminescent paint! This project is a joint initiative between the creative technology division of M&C
Saatchi Australia, Tricky Jigsaw, and Lexus Australia. After six months of intensive work, they managed to connect the human body to the car.

 How it's work?

 A standard heartbeat monitor sends the driver's heartbeat wirelessly to a control board. The custom-built Arduino control board takes the electrical signal from your heart and prompts the electro-luminescent paint to display it in a pre-determined, pulsating pattern on the car's panels. The system is powered by a 13V auxiliary battery, which can use the car's charging system when the engine is on. The paint contains phosphorescent substances that emit light particles in response to alternating electrical current from the 13V battery.
