Hey everyone,

I’m an ultra-marathoner and software engineer, and recently started working on an open-source project called OpenGait with the idea to build a local, real-time running biomechanics and gait analysis tool that processes camera feeds (e.g., side-view webcam or phone on a treadmill) at 60+ FPS to give immediate feedback on running form—without uploading raw video to any cloud server.

Looking for Collaborators

The project is completely open source (AGPLv3 / PolyForm Noncommercial) and I'm looking for people who want to help build it out:

• Rust / C++ Devs: Optimizing the ONNX inference loop, frame buffering, and multi-threading for low-end hardware.
• Frontend Devs (React / Canvas / WebGL): Building smooth 60 FPS skeletal rendering overlays and interactive charts for session debriefs.
• Biomechanists & Physios / Runners: Helping refine the angle formulas, ground-contact algorithms, and scoring metrics so they reflect actual physical therapy best practices.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested, feel free to take a look at the repo, drop a PR or send me a DM!
