do a chin-up, save a cat (I’m building a workout game on the web, using mediapipe + threejs)

Transform Your Workout Routine with an Interactive Web Game

Are you ready to combine fitness with technology in a fun and innovative way? Iโ€™m excited to share a unique project Iโ€™ve been developingโ€”a web-based workout game that leverages computer vision to turn exercise into an engaging experience.

The game encourages you to perform chin-ups to “save” virtual cats. Itโ€™s more than just a workoutโ€”itโ€™s an interactive adventure that tracks your body movements in real-time. Want to try it out? Visit the live demo here: https://www.funwithcomputervision.com/chinup/.

New Features and Options

In addition to chin-ups, Iโ€™ve incorporated a push-up mode, allowing you to switch between different exercises. You can even choose your rescue missionโ€”rescuing cats or dogsโ€”adding an extra layer of motivation to your workout.

Technical Foundations

This project is built using a powerful combination of technologies:

  • MediaPipe: Utilized for accurate body pose detection, enabling real-time exercise recognition.
  • Three.js: Used for rendering captivating 3D visuals that bring the game environment to life.
  • Tone.js: Implements sound effects and audio feedback to enhance user engagement.

Join the Community and Share Your Feedback

Iโ€™m actively refining this game and would love to hear your thoughts. Are there particular exercises you’d like to see added? Suggestions and feedback are always welcome to help make this a more enjoyable and versatile fitness tool.

Dive into the future of interactive workoutsโ€”where technology meets fitness in a playful and motivating way. Give it a try, and let me know what you think!
