Comment on Show HN: Video conference and synchronized YouTube video to do fitness in groups

Comments

Feature idea: use the webcam to project the watcher's image/body onto the instructor's. Then with some computer vision magic, gamify how close your workout matched the instructor's workout.

That's not how workouts work, though. Each body is different, and people have different skill levels too. It's not like Just Dance

Using this type of method to check form makes a lot of sense. There were manny Kinect apps that did this.

Give a shot at wrnch.ai Disclosure I work there but people at hackathon can pull this off easily

That could be fun! I saw Sway app doing that for dance movements, but in fitness such tech for sure could be more useful.
