Chill Work Ambience 😎
This is the last day of my current focus block, although I have another one in a couple days. So I've been making the best use of these to get as much progress made as possible. Hopefully you guys enjoy this awesome Chill Music Lab vibe while we take a quick look 🙂
Javascript & Sensors On Mobiles
The UI presented in the screen captures below and others shown so far may give the impression that the only way MOOVPAD Web App users will be able to get their exercise data recorded will be to manually push buttons on the UI. It's important to remember that the main reason for this type of interaction early on is that the main purpose of the app during the initial stages is to facilitate interactions during courses and online testing.
Future versions will also incorporate the use of javascript to read movement information from sensors. For example, detecting speed, incline/slope and action rates during an outdoor jog/run won't be manually entered, but will instead be detected by the sensors available on mobiles and wearables. While the code required for this is not difficult (I have some clear examples to follow), it just isn't necessary during the first stage. And there will be other features added later, but I'll keep those things for future posts 🙂
Stay awesome,

HOW MOOVPAD IS BEING BUILT
For the overview of how MOOVPAD apps are being developed, the reasoning behind particular decisions during development, policies, links to the science and research at the core of MOOVPAD, and more in relation to all the technical things, please see the link to the left.
This will be an ongoing work in progress, and will always be linked to the bottom of each upcoming Blog post.
