Google Is Acquiring Fitbit for $2.1 Billion
Vendor Research: Data & Business Intelligence
Google is acquiring Fitbit, a leading wearables brand, for $2.1 billion. Google says the motivation is to “help more people with wearables,” expand its vision of “ambient computing,” and, of course, grab a share of the fast-growing $8-billion digital health market.

For the most part, emotion recognition is visual: decoding facial expressions, body language, etc. But why not also use a person’s heart rate, gait, and more. After.
