We have prepared an interactive example that you can test yourself!
This is a workout tracking system that automatically counts arm raises and squats in real time.
Experiment
It's best to use a laptop, but it works on smartphones too.
- Open the link
- Turn on the camera (permission required)
- Raise your arms or squat
How does it work?
Computer vision is a key technology used in virtual and augmented reality. It allows systems to recognize movements, gestures and body positions, opening new possibilities for interaction with the digital world.
