Abstract

Bodyweight training has grown in popularity; it is desirable to be fit and strong. However, training can be dangerous if performed incorrectly. Several systems are used to correct pose during training. However, most require wearable sensors that may interfere with training, or an expensive depth camera. We offer a new form of training support using a smartphone camera and a server. We use a verbal interface to help users to correct their pose and to encourage them. We describe our new system and experimentally evaluate it.
