Talent Track - Kiroween Resurrection 🎃 Live Application: https://kiroween-talent-track.vercel.app Repository: https://github.com/tharunkumardeveloper/kiroween-talent-track License: MIT (OSI Approved Open Source)
Talent Track is an AI-powered fitness analysis application that brings professional-grade workout analysis to everyone with just a smartphone camera. Built for the Kiroween Hackathon - Resurrection category, this project resurrects accessible fitness testing that died behind expensive equipment paywalls, making it completely free and available to anyone with a smartphone.
The Resurrection Story The evolution of workout analysis spans over five decades, starting with simple observation in the pre-1970s era where coaches manually tracked athletes with subjective feedback and no data collection. The 1970s through 1990s introduced mechanical trackers like the first pedometers, but these were expensive, bulky devices. The smartphone and wearable era from 2010s to present introduced fitness trackers and AI machine learning requiring cloud services. The problem is clear: these solutions are inaccessible to most people due to prohibitive costs.
Talent Track resurrects accessible fitness analysis by requiring nothing more than a smartphone camera. Traditional solutions demand motion capture systems costing 10,000−50,000,wearable IMUs at 500-2,000, smartwatches at 150−1,000,gym memberships at 30-100 per month, personal trainers at 50−150persession,cloudservicesat10-50 per month, and specialized equipment at 100−1,000ormore,totalingover11,000 in initial costs plus $100 or more monthly. Talent Track requires only a smartphone camera with no wearables, no gym membership, no personal trainer, no cloud services, and no specialized equipment, bringing the total cost to exactly zero dollars.
Why This Matters: The COVID-19 Impact During the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2023, the world faced an unprecedented fitness crisis that exposed fundamental inequalities in access to fitness resources. Twenty-five percent of gyms permanently closed worldwide, leaving millions without access to fitness facilities. At the pandemic's peak, 40 million Americans were unemployed, making fitness equipment and gym memberships unaffordable luxuries. Fitness equipment prices surged 200-400 percent due to supply chain issues and increased demand, while home workout demand increased 300 percent as people sought alternatives to closed gyms.
The health impact was devastating. The average person gained 29 pounds during lockdown periods, physical activity decreased 32 percent globally, mental health issues increased 300 percent, and chronic disease risk factors worsened across populations. The digital divide became starkly apparent as expensive fitness technology costing $500-2000 remained out of reach for most families, online training required expensive equipment that was often sold out, and low-income communities were disproportionately affected by the fitness inequality that widened dramatically.
Talent Track would have provided a crucial solution during COVID-19 lockdowns. While traditional solutions failed because gyms were closed, personal trainers were too expensive at 50−150persession,fitnesstrackerscost500-1000 and were sold out everywhere, and home gym equipment required 2000ormoreifitwasevenavailable,TalentTrack ′ ssmartphone−basedapproachwouldhaveworkedperfectly.With85percentofAmericansowningsmartphonescomparedtoonly20percentwithfitnesstrackers,theaccessibilitydifferenceisdramatic.Thecostcomparisonisequallystark:zerodollarsversus2000 or more for traditional solutions. Talent Track works anywhere versus being gym-dependent, and millions can use it simultaneously versus limited gym capacity.
The post-COVID reality makes Talent Track even more relevant today. Remote work is now permanent for 30 percent of the workforce, the home fitness market grew from 10billionto30 billion, and people want affordable, accessible solutions. Talent Track addresses this exact need by democratizing fitness technology for everyone.
Complete Feature Set Talent Track provides a comprehensive suite of features designed to make professional fitness analysis accessible to everyone. The home dashboard serves as your fitness command center, featuring a weekly progress tracker with a visual calendar showing workout completion and streak tracking. The activity focus grid lets you browse seven or more workout types with detailed previews, while quick stats display your total workouts, average form score, and calories burned. Challenge cards showcase featured fitness challenges with participant counts, and dedicated banners provide quick access to ghost training mode and performance testing features. Smart filtering allows you to find workouts by muscle group, difficulty, or equipment needs.
The AI-powered pose detection system provides professional-grade motion capture using 33 body landmarks for full-body tracking including face, torso, arms, and legs. Real-time processing delivers 30 frames per second pose detection with less than 100 milliseconds latency, achieving 95 percent or higher accuracy using MediaPipe technology. The system works with any camera quality from phones, laptops, or tablets, requires no wearables or sensors beyond your camera, and processes everything in your browser without cloud uploads. Automatic calibration adjusts to lighting and distance conditions, and the system can even detect multiple people while focusing on the primary subject.
Professional form analysis provides biomechanically accurate validation through precise joint angle measurements with plus or minus two degree accuracy. The system tracks elbow angles for push-ups and pull-ups, knee angles for squats and jumps, hip angles for sit-ups and flexibility exercises, and shoulder alignment for overhead movements. Real-time feedback provides instant form corrections during your workout, while movement pattern analysis identifies compensation patterns that could lead to injury. Range of motion tracking ensures full rep completion, tempo analysis monitors rep speed and control, and a comprehensive form score rates your technique from zero to 100. Specific error detection identifies issues like flaring elbows in push-ups, sagging hips in planks, incomplete range of motion, and poor body alignment, with corrective suggestions providing actionable tips to improve your form.
Ghost Mode training lets you train against perfect form using an AI skeleton overlay. The semi-transparent purple skeleton shows ideal form while you work out, with real-time comparison showing your pose versus the ghost pose side-by-side. Performance scoring calculates your match percentage with the ghost, and a visual feedback system uses green indicators for correct form, red indicators for form errors, and yellow for neutral or transitional positions. The ghost GIF library contains pre-recorded perfect form demonstrations, with synchronized playback ensuring the ghost moves in sync with your workout. Challenge modes let you try to beat the ghost's performance, form deviation tracking shows exactly where you differ from ideal form, gamification elements include points, achievements, and leaderboards, and progressive difficulty adjusts the ghost speed to match your level.
The comprehensive workout library includes seven complete workout types covering all aspects of fitness. Push-ups come in standard, wide, diamond, and knee variations, targeting chest, triceps, and shoulders with rep counting, form validation, elbow angle tracking at 90 degrees at the bottom position, and body alignment monitoring. Pull-ups offer overhand, underhand, and wide grip options for back, biceps, and forearm development, with chin-over-bar detection, full extension validation, dead hang requirements, and no kipping allowed. Sit-ups include standard, butterfly, and V-up variations for core and hip flexor engagement, with torso angle tracking at 45 degrees or more from ground, controlled descent monitoring, and neck position validation.
