Inspiration
Injured sports athletes under rehab often feel frustrated with their physiotherapy exercises and not having a support system can make it worse. FitSpace gamifies the process to make it more enjoyable!
What it does
FitSpace is a mobile game built entirely on Expo using Accelerometer data. It supports audio instructions which allow players to leave their phone in their pockets while playing the game. The screen displays a classic Mario sprite which moves along with the player.
How we built it
- Expo for frontend
- React Native MMKV for datastore
Challenges we ran into
- Getting Expo Sensors library to work on an Android device
- Attempting to get Pedometer to work using legacy Expo
- Exploring AR options for android using Expo
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Having a functional prototype
What we learned
- It was our first time working with Expo Sensors and it wasn't as straightforward as we expected it to be, especially on an android device
- There are limited options to build AR apps using React Native on android. Expo AR only supports iOS
What's next for FitSpace
- More levels
- Incorporate more classic games such as space invaders, horscope etc.
