Overview

FitViz is a monitoring client designed for fitness enthusiasts and gamers. It supports real-time visualization and tracking of health and fitness data sent from ANT+ devices. FitViz also provides networking capabilities allowing game developers to easily integrate ANT+ devices, such as bike trainers and heart rate monitors, into their own game.

The idea behind this project was to provide a standalone PC application that allowed me to interface with a Wahoo Kickr Snap bike trainer. In particular, I was interested in obtaining real-time measurements of speed and power from the Wahoo Kickr to be used as an input controller for a VR game.

About ANT+

ANT+ is a wireless sensor network technology that allows you to moniter data broadcast from ANT+ capable devices. Fitness equipment, bike trainers, heart rate monitors, and blood pressure monitors are just a few of the many devices supported within the ANT+ ecosystem. Data broadcast from ANT+ devices is standardized based on the type of data being sent. ANT+ refers to a data type as a device profile. An ANT+ device can broadcast data associated with multiple device profiles. For example, the Wahoo Kickr Snap broadcasts bicycle power and fitness equipment data.
