Creating an Interactive Workout Game with Computer Vision: Save the Cat or Rescue the Dog!

Are you interested in merging fitness, technology, and fun into an engaging web experience? I’m currently developing an innovative workout game that leverages cutting-edge computer vision techniques to turn exercise into an interactive adventure.

Explore the Demo

You can try out the live version here: https://www.funwithcomputervision.com/chinup/. The game recognizes your body movements in real-time, encouraging you to complete chin-ups to rescue adorable animals—either cats or dogs, depending on your preference!

Features and Gameplay

In addition to chin-ups, I’ve included a push-up mode to diversify the workout options. Players can select their preferred exercise and choose which animal they want to save, adding an element of motivation and fun to fitness routines.

Technology Behind the Project

This project is built on a robust tech stack that enables accurate and responsive motion detection:

• MediaPipe: Utilizing its advanced body pose tracking model for precise movement recognition.
• Three.js: Creating a smooth and engaging 3D visual experience.
• Tone.js: Incorporating sound effects to enhance interactivity and feedback.

Your Feedback Matters

Since this is an ongoing project, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Are there specific exercises or features you’d like to see added? Your input will help shape the future development of this game.
