Seated users included
Seated movement is a first-class path, not a failed setup.

MotionQuest
Webcam movement practice with a clear report.
Adaptive Home Movement Lab
Movement practice that includes seated users and ends in a report.
MotionQuest turns one browser webcam into a short, confidence-aware activity session for older adults, seated users and caregivers.
Choose the safest path
- 1. Pick seated or standing.
- 2. Move only in a comfortable range.
- 3. Review the plain-language report.
Camera limits are visible
The report says what was observed and what was limited.
Privacy, safety and evidence
No account, no wearable, and no medical overclaim.
Start
Choose a live path or open the labeled demo.
No account. No wearable. Camera only during the session.
Measurement stage · Move into frame
Choose the movement path first, then let the camera check whether the chosen setup is observable.
Camera not started
For judges: evidence and verification
Dignity & Privacy Promise
Camera movement practice without hidden data capture.
MotionQuest makes trust visible before the participant starts. The app uses the camera for the session, stores report data locally, and avoids raw video retention. Privacy promises are written to match what the browser app actually does.
Participant dignity is part of the product, not fine print.
Camera only during the session
MotionQuest asks for the camera when the participant starts camera setup or a movement activity.
Video is not saved
The report stores movement counts, confidence and limitations. It does not store raw webcam footage.
Participant controls the data
The report can be copied, downloaded or cleared by starting over. There is no account, backend or hidden upload.
Impact
Lower-friction movement practice
Older adults and caregivers can start with a webcam instead of accounts, wearables, or clinic-only tools.
Method
Functional tasks, not generic play
Chair Stand and Reach Stars map the game flow to measurable movement constructs and tracking quality.
Outcome
The report is the product outcome
The activity exists to produce a caregiver-readable artifact: observed movement, confidence, limitations, interpretation, and next safe step in one copyable note.
1. Calibrate
Frame the body
The app checks camera readiness and whether key landmarks are visible before movement.
2. Move
Two short activities
Adaptive Chair Movement supports standing or seated reps. Reach Stars records visible hand-to-target interactions.
3. Read report
Use the outcome
The report is the main product artifact: a plain-language explanation of what was observed, what was limited, and what to do next.
Method + evidence
Functional movement constructs, not generic points.
Basis
Research-inspired functional tasks
Signal
Reps, targets, timing, confidence
Boundary
Practice feedback, not diagnosis
Adaptive Chair Movement
Supports a standing sit-to-stand branch and a seated upper-body branch so the app does not exclude users who cannot stand.
Reach Stars
A reach-practice target activity. MotionQuest records visible hand-to-target hits and timing when available.
Privacy + limits
Video stays in the browser. No account, backend, or database is needed for this browser release.
MotionQuest is a hackathon build. It does not diagnose, predict falls, or replace professional evaluation.
Safety, privacy and limits
Confidence, safety, privacy and dignity are explicit product behavior.
MotionQuest weakens claims when observation is weak. It never turns a seated adaptation, camera problem or sample session into fake success.
Safety first
Choose seated mode if standing is unsafe. Stop the session if movement feels uncomfortable, rushed or unstable.
Camera control
The camera is used only during the browser session. MotionQuest stores report values, not raw video.
Dignity by design
Seated participation is a first-class path. Adaptation is treated as valid participation, not a lesser status.
Independence
The user can complete the session with a browser webcam only: no account, wearable, hidden menu, clinic room or complex setup.
Caregiver confidence guide
High confidence
Use the note as a readable practice summary for this session, while keeping it outside clinical scoring.
Medium confidence
Treat counts as useful but conservative practice feedback; repeat with the same setup before comparing sessions.
Low confidence
Treat numbers as setup feedback only; improve camera position, distance or light before using them for a trend.
Camera limits
Close camera
A close camera can crop shoulders, hands or knees, so the report weakens movement claims.
Hand near lens
A hand very near the lens can hide the body frame, so hits and reps are interpreted conservatively.
Partial view
If only part of the body is visible, MotionQuest names which movement signals were observable.
Poor lighting
Backlight or low light can reduce landmark confidence; the report asks for a calmer repeat setup.
Claim boundary
If real camera evidence contradicts a product claim, MotionQuest weakens the claim and labels the limitation instead of inflating the evidence.
For judges
How to verify the actual outcome in under two minutes.
1
Open the live app
Use the public HTTPS deployment and choose the live camera path when camera and room conditions allow it.
2
Complete the flow
Run Adaptive Chair Movement, then Reach Stars. Each activity shows what counts and what the browser is measuring.
3
Check the artifact
The Caregiver Report displays metrics, interpretation, method, limitations, next-session guidance, and a copyable export.
