Leeboom Plans Paid Launch for Senior Motion Game HAMO
The one-person studio behind the camera-based senior game says free trials at five institutions are done and paid commercialization is next.
Leeboom, the one-person company behind the camera-based senior motion game HAMO, said it plans to move toward paid commercialization of the title after completing free field trials at five institutions, according to it.donga.com.
HAMO is played by moving the arms and legs in front of a monitor. A camera reads body motion, so no controller or wearable device is required, and face recognition logs users in automatically once they stand in front of the screen. The game stores facial feature data and joint coordinate and angle values rather than original photos or video.
Since last year the company has distributed HAMO for free, reaching 112 cumulative users and 3,412 sessions across five institutions, including the Gunpo City Neulpureun Welfare Center. The chief executive, Lee Seung-heon, cited the response and demand seen during those trials as the basis for the paid step.
In a separate trial, Leeboom ran an 8-week HAMO program within the Dongjak-gu Office health program for healthy aging, hosted by Chung-Ang University, after which balance ability reportedly improved by 31.29%. This year the company was selected as an outstanding sports-sector company by Incheon National University's Startup Support Foundation.
HAMO 1.0 is planned as software bundled with hardware including a mini PC. Leeboom was founded in June 2025; the Incheon National University foundation has run a sports industry startup support center since 2017 and has backed more than 120 sports startups.
