Smash Your Fitness uses motion-sensing technology to translate your real-world activity into in-game actions. The platform is designed to work with multiple types of devices, so you can play no matter what equipment you have.
Here’s how it works across different devices:
Smartphones
Every modern phone includes built-in motion sensors, like an accelerometer and gyroscope. These detect movement, direction, and speed. Smash can use these sensors directly, so even if you don’t own extra devices, you can hold your phone, put it in your pocket, or strap it to your arm and the app will track your movements.Smartwatches
Devices like the Apple Watch and WearOS watches have motion and fitness sensors built in. When paired with Smash, these provide continuous, accurate tracking of steps, heart rate, and movement, which the game translates into your avatar’s actions.BLE FTMS-Enabled Equipment
Many treadmills, bikes, rowers, and ellipticals now support the Bluetooth FTMS standard (Fitness Machine Service). Smash connects to these machines to detect your speed, resistance, incline, and cadence. This data flows into the game so your workout performance directly powers your avatar.Smashometer Motion Sensor
Our custom motion sensor, the Smashometer, provides extra precision for movement detection. You can attach it to your body or equipment, and it transmits motion data directly to Smash.
🧠 How the Data Becomes Gameplay
No matter which device you use, the motion data is read by Smash’s Motion Engine. This engine smooths and interprets the raw signals — for example, distinguishing between a light step and a full jump — and converts them into the game’s actions. That’s how jogging in place can make your avatar run in Neon Runner, or doing jumping jacks can make your avatar cycle in Smash Cycling.
✅ Bottom Line
Smash detects movement through a combination of sensors in your phone, smartwatch, BLE fitness equipment, or the Smashometer. Its Motion Engine processes the signals to make sure every jump, step, pedal, or flap feels responsive and rewarding inside the game.
