To join the MOOVment, you need to download our application from the App Store or Google Play.
After that, this Medium guide helps you get started in the dotmoovs' world. Right now, we're on BETA version, but you can already choose between 2 sports: freestyle football and dance. Are you ready to start MOOVing?

dotmoovs’ dance score is focused on two main components: time and body position. The algorithm detects how well your movement matched those of the expert dancer in a set period of time; and how well you physically replicated the dance moves (e.g., did you raise your arms all the way up in the air or just up to your shoulders?). Importantly, if you pull off dance moves’ combos deemed “difficult” by our expert team, you’ll get more points than if you excelled at the easy “moves”. The more you practice, the quicker you’ll reach the maximum score of 10.000 points.

The scoring in freestyle soccer is more than just a count of the number of ball juggles! Much like in a real-world competition, this score entails several different metrics:
- Number of ball juggles (with different point systems for distinct parts of the body according to their difficulty);
- Variety of ball juggles (you have to be creative!);
- Speed;
- Rhythm;
- Height of ball variability;
- Novelty (compared to your previous attempts).

Points are discounted from the overall score if a player’s ball touches their hand or the ground.

dotmoovs’ anti-cheating mechanisms are sport-dependent. For dance, we have developed body analysis algorithms that compare the player’s motion with that of the choreographer, meaning that to get a good score, the player’s movements must be similar to the choreographer’s. In freestyle football, however, there is no direct comparator. So, for this sport, we implemented an anti-cheat mechanism that detects the proximity between the ball and the player’s hands. This allows our AI-based referee to easily detect when a player is touching the ball with their hands instead of their feet and rate accordingly.

No, to start playing you just need your smartphone camera and the dotmoovs mobile app. Depending on your goal, there are different kinds of challenges to choose from, and for some of those, you may need to have a digital sports equipment. For instance, if you just want to practice your favourite sport without competing with anyone, you can do so for free. On the other hand, if you want to engage in 1:1, weekly or legendary competitions, you need to buy or rent dotmoovs’ sports equipment.
