#2I remember when pose detection was announced, showing an app that corrected your workout movements.
i have yet to see an app that actually does that. i'd love to have the equivalent of a personal trainer showing me where i need to adjust my pose in say pushups or other simple excercies.
thus im equally sceptical of seeing these apis used. it seems developers are mostly porting web apps to all platforms ignoring neat but platform specific apis like this.
please prove me wrong and link some awesome apps that use pose detection.

The “there’s an app for that” world where small to medium sized teams can build a very iOS native app that takes advantage of the latest and greatest of the device is long gone.
It’s kinda weird how Apple doesn’t realize this and continues to build for that world. Maybe if they were willing to shift on their % for devs that do build that way but unless they did there just isn’t the audience buying apps outright and the only ways to profit are tricking people into abusive subscriptions or building on ads and their personal data.
Until then no idea why any dev would build just for the Apple ecosystem and not something agnostic.
It’s telling to me that the biggest tech apps of the last 2 years all ran web/desktop first.

There are still a few, e.g. https://halide.cam/
But if you are successful, there is a chance of getting sherlocked, so its a risky business model.

One of the reasons that I write native, is so that I can access stuff like this. It usually takes quite a while for hybrid platforms to catch up.
That said, I don’t have an immediate need for this particular SDK, in the project I’m developing. I just like to have the option to integrate stuff like this.
Also, I’m not a “bleeding edge” developer. I’m still using UIKit/AppKit/WatchKit (as opposed to SwiftUI), and my software supports one OS version back, upon release.

I would be weird to have your social app trying to correct your pose ;)

It would be less weird for it to call home so that Z*ck knows to serve you ads for painkillers for your spine...

What are the two apps that you are referring to? No snark just curious. Because the only thing I can think of are video calls or social media (which are arguably older than two years).

The big question is whether it's even capable of making recommendations like that. You'd have to combine it with your own model.
Having read books on strength training and tried to learn stuff like squatting perfectly myself I'm skeptical it could be to grasp the nuance.
But for dancing and other stuff where it doesn't matter as much it could be useful (health/safety wise when carrying load).
