Visualizing One Year of Apple's iOS Health App Data with echoAR, Unity, Python

Description

Health checkups are usually done once a year and doctors tend to ask you if regularly exercise. This visualization uses your iPhone's Apple Health App to track your step count. The average amount of steps for each month in the past year can be shown as a easy to understand visualization. This visualization can help doctors understand your exercise levels and use this as a measurement of fitness to help patients recognize their health levels.

My Setup

• Exported Health Data from Apple iPhone
• Extracted only records about Step Count
• Find the mean number of steps for each month in 2019
• Create a dataframe and convert to csv
• Create new Unity project
• Install echoAR Unity SDK
• Added the dumbbell model
• Connected echoAR API key in Unity
• Added the csv metadata into the model
• Used echoAR/CustomBehaviour.cs script from echoAR COVID tutorial
• Set up camera position and echoAR transformation
• Run Unity program: play button

Challenges

It was my first time learning about Unity, C# and echoAR but it was fun to interact with these new technologies. The biggest challenge was figuring out how to connect Python, echoAR and Unity all together in this project.
