1. A method comprising:
positioning a mobile device relative to a first floor marker such that the first floor marker is within a field of view of a camera of the mobile device;
wherein the camera is a depth-perception camera;
wherein the first floor marker includes marking(s) of a pre-determined size and capturable by the camera; and
wherein the first floor marker defines a first boundary associated with a first activity;
detecting, using a mobile application stored within the mobile device and the camera, the marking(s) of the first floor marker;
wherein the mobile application calculates a distance relative to the first floor marker based on the predetermined size of the marking(s) and using the depth-perception camera;
displaying, using the mobile application and over the field of view, a virtual overlay,
wherein the virtual overlay includes a visual representation of the first boundary and is based on the marking(s) of the first floor marker;
wherein the visual representation of the first boundary comprises a box;
and
wherein the first floor marker defines a corner of the box;
detecting, using the mobile application, motion of an athlete performing the first activity relative to the first floor marker and the first boundary; and
calculating, using the mobile application, a boundary-based measurement of the athlete based on the detected motion and the visual representation of the first boundary.
