Exergaming

Hardware-independent development platform using computer vision to track exercise movements using just cameras on mobile phones/PCs/laptops. 

Time and Motivation

Research shows that 40% to 65% of people who enrol in gyms quit within 3 to 6 months of joining, primarily due to lack of time and motivation. People wish to exercise but due to hectic schedules and low motivation levels, many choose short term rewards such as playing video games.

Exergaming allows people to enjoy their workout in the comfort and privacy of their own homes by integrating the platform with games. They are able to install Exergaming onto their laptop/PC and connect to their TV for a bigger display. The webcam is used to track exercise such as running on the spot, which eliminates the need for expensive custom hardware.

Accessible Exergaming Technology

The core of Exergaming is the use of hardware-independent exercise tracking technology that can be easily implemented in various applications. The technology does not rely on using exercise equipment, consoles and hand-held exercise tracking devices and thus reduces the production costs significantly.

As a development platform for accessible exergames that are able to run on mobile phones/laptops/PCs and tracks physical activity.

Once customers have installed Exergaming on their device, they are able to connect to their TV for a bigger display and use a webcam to track their movements such as running on the spot. The technology uses the motivational effects of conventional gaming to incentivise exercising and interactive storytelling elements to improve game replayability for better exercise adherence. The ultimate goal of using Exergaming is to improve exercise performance, user experience and intrinsic motivation.
