MyFitForm - AR App
This was my final major project piece during my masters, the problem was identified when I realised how daunting it can be for people who are new to training, fitness and gym. A whole new environment can seem scary and not everyone has the luxury of having a personal trainer. After some deep research and analysis, I realised I can harness the power of AR technology to bring a new dimension to ‘Online Fitness Training’.
An agile methodology was used, refinements were made weekly as the app followed a UCD (User Centred Design) approach. A blog ran during the project time to document each stage with my findings and analysis. Using Unity3D, C# and Vuforia, as well as 3d modelling to develop and design the application. By using various lights, I was able to show what muscles were being worked depending on the different exercises.
I created a prototype that shows how AR can be used to create a personalised virtual trainer experience, in the gym environment or on the go. The social media campaign ran for the application got some traction from Vuforia themselves. This was a prototype, but showed the creativity and adaptability of the AR and Unity3D going forward,
