The analysis and scoring module may calculate scores in response to reference data related to at least one exercise prescribed for the user, and then compare processing results to the reference data. A feedback module may be included in the system which is programmed for creating and animating an avatar in response to the processing results of the analysis and scoring module. In certain aspects, the analysis and scoring module may be programmed for using a voxel basis function (VBF) technique in connection with performing pose matching analysis in association with the user performing the exercise program. | 2022-03-10 |
20220072378 | DIGITALLY ENHANCED EXERCISE SYSTEM AND METHOD - A digitally enhanced exercise system includes a proximal section comprising a first structural member and a platform; a distal section comprising a second structural member and an interface, wherein the interface is attached to the second structural member by a mount; a spine that is spans between the first structural member and the second structural member; a carriage configured to move in a single axis along the spine; a tension system, wherein the tension system is capable of resisting the carriage from moving; a sensor array arranged so as to detect changes in weight on the carriage; and a processor. Other aspects are also described and claimed. | 2022-03-10 |
20220072379 | VIDEO STREAMING WITH MULTIPLEXED COMMUNICATIONS AND DISPLAY VIA SMART MIRRORS - A processor-implemented method includes receiving a request that specifies a workout performed at a first time, a list of users, a second time after the first time, an overlay to be displayed during a rebroadcast associated with the request, and a skill level of the workout. The request is compared to calendar data, and a session acknowledgment message is sent to the compute device of the first user based on the comparison. An invitation message is sent to compute devices of a second user and a third user, identifying the second time, and invitation responses are received from the second user and the third user. In response to the invitation responses, a video of the workout is rebroadcast at the second time, to a smart mirror of the first user, a smart mirror of the second user and a smart mirror of the third user. | 2022-03-10 |
