Project Genesis
In the midst of the pandemic upheaval of 2021, our team embarked on a transformative journey. Our client, a fitness enthusiast yearning for the camaraderie of the gym amidst lockdown restrictions, approached us with a bold vision. Fueled by a shared passion for innovation, we embraced the challenge: crafting an immersive IoT-based fitness application that would bridge the gap between isolation and motivation.
As the world grappled with the uncertainties of Covid-19, our client sought solace in the familiar rhythm of daily workouts and the infectious energy of gym buddies. Determined to recreate that dynamic environment virtually, we dove headfirst into brainstorming sessions. Meticulously weaving threads of customization and commission, we tailored a solution that would transcend physical boundaries.

Scoping Out the Project
Technical Requirements- Native Device with BLE Support: The app needed to run on native devices capable of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication.
- BLE Peripheral Devices - The target IoT fitness tracking devices, transmitted data via BLE.
- Unity Application - The Unity app would receive and display real-time data from these BLE peripherals.
Functional Overview
- Device Discovery and Listing - The app scanned for nearby BLE devices and presented a list to users.
- Device Connection - Users could select a BLE device to establish a connection for data communication.
- Graceful Disconnection - The app allowed manual or automatic disconnection from a BLE device if the connection was lost.
- Data Reception and Processing - The application received fitness data (speed, pace, distance, battery level) from connected BLE devices. This data was formatted and sent to the Unity app for real-time display and analysis.
- Real-time Updates - Continuous monitoring ensured that the Unity app reflected the current status of the fitness device.
Communication Infrastructure
The SwiftToUnity bridge facilitated communication between the iOS, Android app and the Unity application.
- It handled device discovery notifications, connection status updates, and real-time data transmission to Unity.
Used Cases
- Discovering Devices - Users could find and list nearby BLE fitness devices
- Connecting to a Device - Selection of a device initiated data reception.
- Monitoring Device Data - Real-time fitness metrics were displayed within the Unity app.
- Disconnecting from a Device - Users maintained control over connections, disconnecting as needed.
