Inspiration

turFIT arose from the idea of combining casual fitness and competitive gaming. Today, it is difficult to find the time to prioritize our wellbeing and health with modern-day distractors with technology and gaming. So, why not combine both?

What it does

turFIT is a social and fitness Android app designed to track your aerobic exercise by measuring the amount of distance traveled in real time. Through Google Maps visualization, turFIT converts a user's distance traveled to digital, in-game turf; the more distance you travel, the more turf and points you collect. Compete with friends and strive to be number one: In turFIT and for your health.

How we built it

turFIT was built from Android Studio and Google Maps.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into challenges with making the video, resizing the logo, and technical difficulties with After Effects and Android Studio. Using Google Maps and troubleshooting it with our app was a challenge as well.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of making our video and our app the most.

What we learned

We learned that it is possible to merge fitness and gaming together, to create an engaging, new social media app that is for the future benefit for a technological-dependent society.
