Inspiration
Whenever I go to the gym, I see 80% of people doing the wrong exercise after they are tired, leading to back pains, muscle pain and so on. So I created this app that allows a healthy exercise without harming your body too much and without having a personal trainer.
What it does
Presenting Alpha, a new app for iOS that pushes you to improve your exercise routine. Alpha uses your device's camera to recognize the type of exercise that you're doing and encourages you to do the best you can. Using advanced algorithms, Alpha is able to tell whether or not you actually completed a rep correctly, and keeps track of how many reps you complete. By keeping track of the number of real reps one completes, Alpha holds people accountable for the amount of exercise they should be completing each day. Current fitness apps are unreliable in this aspect, they may simply keep track of time or use a device like a Apple Watch or FitBit to keep track of wrist movement, which could easily be misleading. Alpha pushes people to do better and keep in shape by helping them improve their form and exercise more efficiently and effectively.
How we built it
using unity, arCore, ARKIT and C# (xcode for testing)
Challenges we ran into
Finding out if the algorithm works perfectly on any exercise and on anyone. Perfecting the algorithm to make it work 9 times out of 10
Business Model
I believe I could change this from an App to an actual Product that such as into a camera that tracks body movement that a user can use while they are at their gym/home and that they would never need a personal trainer again. A camera could be in a shape of a tennis ball and can be kept at any corner and tracks your body movement to give realistic data and accuracy to you!
