Bringing movement into screen time
An interactive experience can create a reason to stand up and move. How your family uses it and balances the day still matters.

A larger screen. Clearer guidance.
Choose a computer or TV setup, connect the camera and position the display so your child can clearly follow workout instructions.

Making movement time together
Everyone does not need to move in the same way. Preparing, guiding and taking turns can all be ways to participate.

Set up your workout space
Prefer a computer connected to a TV or large display, with a compatible camera or webcam. Without a TV, use a computer and check that your child can clearly follow the workout from the full-body camera position. Centre the camera and check full-body framing throughout each movement.

Before your first session: five useful checks
Aim for a clear and comfortable experience. The first session is for learning the instructions, not proving ability.

Positioning a camera for movement
Framing, light and distance need to be checked together. No single distance works for every camera.

Devices
Showing your laptop on a TV
A TV may make instructions easier to see. The laptop still runs the app, and its camera must be positioned for the person moving.

Measuring height consistently
Input measurements directly affect reference results. A consistent method is more useful than repeated measurements throughout the day.

Why is children's BMI different from adult BMI?
The weight-divided-by-height-squared formula is the same. Interpretation differs because children's bodies change as they grow.

Parents
Reading growth results with perspective
A result places a measurement within a reference. It is a starting point for understanding data, not a label for a child.

Understanding movement feedback
Feedback helps people interact with an experience. Its stability also depends on camera framing, lighting and the activity's requirements.

How do video and interactive movement differ?
Each format guides people differently. Suitability depends on aims, devices and how easily someone can follow along.

Questions worth asking about camera use
Understand where the camera is used, which site receives permission and how to stop access before a child begins.

Questions to ask before choosing a plan
An informed choice starts with plan scope, usability and support conditions, not just the displayed price.
Read the guideComputer runs the app, TV shows it
Open Siroby on the computer, connect a TV using a compatible display method and test picture and sound. Connect a webcam to the computer when more flexible camera positioning is needed.
Two checks that matter together
The camera captures the whole body during movement, and your child can see instructions clearly from that position. Align the display, camera and person along the same centre line.
A phone is not a recommended training setup
A phone can still run Siroby smoothly. But when your child steps back for full-body camera framing, the small screen makes demonstrations and feedback harder to follow. For a better training experience, Siroby does not recommend training directly on a phone screen; prefer a computer connected to a TV.
