Inspiration
Everyday tasks can be hard for people with fine motor impairments who may have suffered strokes or other health problems. Many of them feel depressed and helpless because rebuilding hand skills is difficult without proper guidance from doctors, or too boring to stick with even with guidance. HealMotion is here to help - by gamifying hand exercises, users can rehab their hand skills independently or with others who have the same issues around the globe. We believe that treatment can be fun and accessible to everyone.
What it does
HealMotion is a mixed reality recovery community that immerses users with fine motor impairments in collaborative play to not only strengthen hand dexterity, but to foster social connection, self-confidence, and ultimately, destigmatize what it means to have an impairment. No one is left behind in this exciting new reality.
How we built it
We utilized hand tracking from the Meta Presence Platform SDK for Unity to capture the user's hand movement, and the Photon Ecosystem to build connection between players. User interactions are prototyped using Figma and Bezi, with guidance animation done by Blender to better familiarize users with their mixed reality treatment.
Challenges we ran into
Multiplayer function and Wi-Fi.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Contribution to networking with physical and digital world settings, real time hand tracking and user status syncing, public health and social impact, collaboration and connection between people.
What we learned
Connection is important, not only for users in our app's community, but also for teammates - that's us.
What's next for HealMotion
Enhance multiplayer stability, enrich exercises with more gameplay.
