I wonder if it is using Eulerian Video Magnification[0] or something custom to do the pulse and motion detection.

you can detect heartbeats in infrared light easily, no fancy processing required -- see http://www.google.com/patents/WO2004078028A2?cl=en and http://www2.ece.ohio-state.edu/~anderson/Outreachfiles/Pulse... for examples.

Doesn't that mean it should be possible with the current Kinect as well?
