Virtual reality is going to revolutionize the fitness industry. Plenty of organizations are already working on smart virtual reality training systems. The ICSPACE project is about a virtual coaching space that helps athletes and patients learn new moves and correct their form and mistakes. Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology used two projection walls to simulate a virtual environment. Athletes will have to wear stereoscopic glasses and reflective markers, which are tracked by infrared cameras.
When users enter into the system, they see a virtual image of themselves and can monitor how they are performing each exercise. There is also a virtual coach that provides personalized feedback. The above video gives you a better idea what this project is all about.
