Outward: an adventure story that only moves forward when you go outside

Описание и применение

Outward – это офлайн‑PWA, превращающая прогулки на свежем воздухе в приключенческий сюжет, где главы открываются только после реального перемещения, используя 241 МБ модель Gemma и Whisper для распознавания речи.

Задача

A 4B storyteller model is too large for a phone and requires internet, preventing an offline walk‑based adventure game.

Результат

Outward delivers a fully offline, on‑device story game that unlocks chapters only after real‑world walks, using a distilled 241 MB Gemma model and Whisper voice input, achieving near‑teacher performance (4.75/5) with 2–3 s generation time.

Рабочий процесс

• Install the PWA on a phone via Wi‑Fi to download the 241 MB storyteller and 44 MB voice model.
• Enable airplane mode to confirm offline operation.
• Choose a walk duration (10, 30, or 60 min) and walk the required distance (250 m, 700 m, or 1.4 km) tracked by GPS.
• After completing the walk, describe the discovered object via voice or text.
• The on‑device Gemma model generates the next chapter incorporating the discovery.
• The chapter is narrated and added to the field journal, and the companion Sprig celebrates.
• Repeat for subsequent chapters.
• Use Practice mode in Settings to skip the walk for testing the loop on a desk.
• Use Diagnostics to view installed model, token throughput, and recent chapters.

Доказательства

After one install, it works fully offline: no signal needed, and nothing about your location, voice or walks leaves the phone.
