Abstract
Technology enhanced learning is development of psychomotor skills an area with a lot of potential, which is enabled by rapid
improvements of sensors and wearable devices, combined with artificial
intelligence. Here we focus on fitness exercises and present a novel approach based on computer vision techniques to track the practitioner’s
pose and provide automatically real-time feedback for improvement,
based on the input from an expert trainer. Taking into account the
gathered data and ground-truth poses, the proposed pipeline can learn
actively from a professional trainer demonstrating an exercise in front of
a camera or passively from a recorded video. In our experiment, we used
professional fitness exercise videos as the ground truth and measured the
performance of five inexperienced participants. The results show positive
responses from participants, indicating the feasibility of the proposed
approach as well as suggestions for its further improvement.
