Perform a Chin-Up, Rescue a Cat: Developing a Web Workout Game with MediaPipe and Three.js

Transform Your Workout Routine with an Interactive Web Game โ€“ Rescue Animals While Getting Fit!

Are you passionate about fitness and love innovative ways to stay active? Imagine combining your workout with a fun, interactive game that keeps you motivated while doing meaningful good. Thatโ€™s exactly what Iโ€™m buildingโ€”a browser-based exercise game that leverages cutting-edge computer vision technology to make workouts more engaging.

Introducing a Unique Workout Experience

Through the power of MediaPipeโ€™s body pose tracking alongside Three.js and Tone.js, users can perform exercises like chin-ups and push-ups while actively participating in a virtual rescue mission. The concept is simple: complete physical challenges to ‘rescue’ animals, be it cats or dogs, providing a rewarding twist to your fitness session.

Try It Out Live!
