Turn Your Chores into Scores
Sweep into a world where cleaning meets gaming with 'Spatial Vacuuming'.
What is this about?
With over 20 million views on 'X', solo app developer Daniel Beauchamp has created an XR app that gamifies the household chore of vacuuming.
Why is it interesting?
This phygital approach bridges the gap between a mundane task and a fun, rewarding experience. It's not just about cleaning; it's about experiencing chores in an entirely new and satisfying way. Either enjoy beating your score or know you've covered every inch.
'Spatial Vacuuming' reflects our FutureCode, WonderWorlds, where we seamlessly blend reality with new digital realms, creating an opportunity to 'Elevate the Everyday' with tech-sessible experiences that overcome barriers to adoption.
So What?
Mundane tasks are the key to happiness! Well, maybe not on their own, but technology can help people overcome the barriers of doing such tasks by adding entertainment to the experience. This addition can unlock the benefits of doing chores, such as being a source of pride and allowing brands to make people feel good by doing good.
Just Imagine ...
A near future:
Where Yorkshire Tea create audio teaspoons that remind people to put their tea bags in the food waste bin (in a Yorkshire accent).
A mid future:
Where Dairylea partners with schools to encourage children to help out more at home by using XR to gamify chores and offer the chance to win prizes for their school.
A far future:
Where Lucozade create the 'Home Olympics', using wearable tech to monitor competitors' effort levels through biometrics and XR to livestream from everyone's houses to judge who the winners are.
