AR Home Fitness App Using Webcam to create Xbox Kinect Features

Hey Guys,

Does anyone remember the Microsoft Kinect? I'm working to bringing that functionality to every camera using machine learning. The first version allows any trainer to tag workout videos for keyframes to allow anyone to create dance revolution style games based on there videos. The performance in the initial version was a bit of an issue so I'm about to finish a Hole in the Wall/Photobomb style game.

Would love to hear what games you guys loved to play think would be fun to jump into with friends with to get active using any webcam.

    I'm looking for the same webcam to play my Xbox game on my PC. I have seen some good products on https://allbestelectronicshop.com/ and its looking so good.

    I have been exploring the same space today and found a couple of new startups doing device sales at insanely high prices. Could be a space where margins could be high.

    Tempo Fit
    Tonal

    I am not associated with any of those, just came across as I am too lazy and paranoid to go out and work out.

      Yes, I have a full business case analysis done up with Tonal, temp, peleton, mirror and a few others. I am also not into working out but had big kinect parties with friends, so I am building that to make it social and gamified in small spurts to get active. Plus i'd like to do some learning games so that learning can be active in a go noodle style for kids.

      I have a video mvp ready, but just working out the bugs to put on a web demo in the coming weeks.

        Cool! You have it all figured out! Let us know when you drop the MVP video in public - we'll share it across :)

    You can see how popular Just Dance is on youtube...

    I'm nostalgic for the ps2 eyetoy game Antigrav and Kinetic was a good excessive

      Hey! Yea mirror was a bit of an inspiration. Was just shocked no one had done it in a webcam so billions of devices were compatible without a purchase.

      ps2 Antiograv was a great find. Checked it out and will incorporate something like that. I should have a solid mvp out in the next week.

      Here was a simple prototype I did for everyone:
