The Samsung Space Squat represents a fusion of gaming and fitness technology. Developed by Robot Kittens, the system features precise motion tracking, real-time gameplay feedback, and seamless integration with gym environments. The custom-built hardware and software solution transforms body movements into spaceship controls, while the registration system keeps track of high scores across all Basic-Fit locations. This technical achievement creates an engaging competitive platform that maintains accurate tracking while delivering an immersive gaming experience.
Targeting Gen-Z's passion for both fitness and gaming, the Space Squat installation has become a powerful community builder within Basic-Fit gyms. The competitive leaderboard system connects players across 24 different locations in the Netherlands and Belgium, creating a virtual fitness community that extends beyond individual gym walls. Part of the broader "know more, train better" campaign, this installation demonstrates how Samsung's ecosystem can enhance workout effectiveness while adding an element of fun to traditional exercise routines. The project successfully unites Samsung's mission of innovating people's lives with Basic-Fit's goal of making sports accessible to everyone.
