Pacer: Your Rhythm Friendly Companion
Started at HackRice 2016, Pacer is Android Application that, when exercising, detects your pace of movement and plays the song
in your library that has the closest pace to your movement. It includes the ability to detect new
music in your library and allows you to define each song's beats per minute by tapping.
