Questions & answers
Everything you need to get started.
01 What does AlteraLab do?
AlteraLab creates camera-powered games and community experiences that turn everyday movement into approachable, engaging play for seniors.
02 Who are the experiences for?
Our work focuses on seniors while remaining welcoming to families, caregivers, facilitators and players of different generations.
03 How does motion tracking work?
A camera reads natural body movements and translates them into on-screen action. Reaches, steps and gestures become part of the game.
04 Do players need a controller or wearable device?
No handheld controller or wearable is needed. The player’s body becomes the controller.
05 What equipment and space are required?
Requirements depend on the experience, but a compatible camera, display and clear movement area are generally needed. We can advise on an appropriate setup.
06 Can people with different abilities participate?
Our experiences are designed to be clear and approachable. Suitability still depends on individual needs, the environment and the support available.
07 Is AlteraLab a medical or rehabilitation service?
No. Our games support movement and play but do not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional when needed.
08 Can our community or organisation work with AlteraLab?
Yes. Send an enquiry describing your audience, setting, location, goals and preferred timing. We will review whether the opportunity fits our scope and capacity.
