About The Project

Check Out a Quick Demo Here!

In our increasingly digital age, we find ourselves glued to screens and chairs, a far cry from the active lifestyles of our ancestors 300 years ago—a concerning shift in our well-being. Today's youth, from little Jimmy to college John, spend an astonishing 7.5 hours daily, equivalent to 114 full days per year, in front of screens (I actually did the research). Wtf, that's a whole third of a year!

I felt like I needed to do something. I had to make these kids move, and so I took inspiration from the CCP and their love for labor and surveillance.

I give to you, Squatty! Using a camera or webcam, Squatty tracks your squats, records your squat count, and monitors the time since your last squat. By Xi's request, a punishment mode can even be activated, compelling you to complete squats at specified intervals. Keep squatting, or you'll feel the consequences!
