Is this based on visible light (i.e. the redder the face the higher the heart rate) or infrared (the hotter the face the higher the heart rate)?

If IR then it will work across all skintones. If visible light then won't it have a harder time reading the change in skin blood flow for darker skinned people?

All I've seen is that Kinect will read the bloodflow in the face, but I haven't read what EM wavelength will be used for this purpose.

Here is a good read for you:
