The subject invention comprises a system, and method of using the system, for providing improved alignment in multiple settings. Appropriate settings include woodworking, machining, and sports, although there are several other practical applications for this technology. The invention employs one or more alignment stations that have a base plate that anchors into a flat surface, guides that fit into the base plate, a top rotating element that fits onto the base plate secures the first set of guides into place, and a positional lock that locks the rotating element into place relative to the base plate.

A system includes wearable devices positioned on a subject in different locations. Each wearable device includes motion sensors that measure the subject's movement in three dimensions. The motion sensors generate raw sensory data as the subject performs a physical movement. A data filter is selected based on a condition of the subject and a designated movement corresponding to the physical movement, and used to convert the raw sensory data into formatted data. A level of compliance of the physical movement with a movement model for the designated movement is determined by applying comparative modeling techniques to the formatted data and the movement model. Real-time feedback is delivered dynamically to the subject by the wearable devices during the performance of the physical movement based on the level of compliance. The movement model can be generated, and the comparative modeling techniques can be selected, based on the condition of the subject.

This disclosure relates to systems, media, and methods for providing near-instantaneous feedback from real-time motion sensor data. In an embodiment, the system may perform operations including loading at least one target motion trigger. Disclosed embodiments may receive real-time sensor data from the first motion sensor detachably fixed to a user. Additionally, disclosed embodiments may include calculating a motion profile based on the real-time sensor data, the motion profile describing a multi-dimensional representation of acceleration of a motion performed by the user. Disclosed embodiments may also include comparing the at least one target motion trigger to the calculated motion profile to determine if the motion performed by the user corresponds to the target motion. Further, disclose embodiments may include transmitting, based on the comparison, an instruction to provide an alert to a user.

A monitoring system that includes a processor, one or more video cameras, a student monitor, and an instructor monitor. The processor can transmit and receive digital information to and from the video cameras and monitors. The student monitor and the instructor monitor are each also able to communicate digitally with the processor and may each play video as received from the processor. The processor may transmit either a live or recorded video signal to both the student monitor and the instructor monitor, such that the student monitor and the instructor monitor receive and play video simultaneously.

An apparatus having a gesture sensor is provided. The gesture sensor includes an image sensing unit and a processing unit. The image sensing unit can capture at least a gesture image of user. The processing unit is electrically connected to the image sensing unit. The processing unit can send at least a control command according to the gesture image to operate the apparatus.

The invention relates to a device (100) for performing exercises, comprising a housing (105), a deviation sensor (140) for detecting a deviation of said housing (105) from an equilibrium, and a control unit (110) coupled to said deviation sensor (140) arranged to count deviations from the equilibrium.

A method for an advancement manager in a handheld user device is presented. The method is performed in a handheld user device (1). The method comprises detecting (S100) an exercise of a person in front of a camera (46) of the handheld user device, wherein the exercise is a trained exercise, determining (S130), when a stability of the detected exercise is within a first threshold, a performance of the detected exercise as correct, and otherwise determine the performance as incorrect, verifying (S140) that the performance determined as incorrect occurs in a subsequent repetition of the detected exercise before providing the correction indication, and providing (S150) a correction indication towards a user interface, UI, of the handheld user device for the determined incorrect performance. A user device and a computer program for an advancement manager in a handheld user device are also presented.

An exercise feedback system receives exercise data captured by client devices of users performing musculoskeletal exercises. The exercise feedback system may provide captured images to a client device of a physical trainer (PT) who remotely provides feedback on the users' exercise performances, for example, by labeling images as indicative of proper or improper musculoskeletal form. A PT may track multiple users using a central feed, which includes content displayed in an order based on ranking of users by a model. Additionally, the exercise feedback system may provide an augmented reality (AR) environment. For instance, an AR graphic indicating a target musculoskeletal form for an exercise is overlaid on a video feed displayed by a client device. Responsive to detecting that a user's form is aligned to the AR graphic, the exercise feedback system may notify the user and trigger the start of the exercise.

The subject invention comprises a system, and method of using the system, for providing improved alignment in multiple dimensions. Appropriate settings include woodworking, machining, and sports, although there are several other practical applications for this technology. This system allows for simultaneous alignment along the x, y, and z axes. Another embodiment of this invention incorporates the multi-dimensional alignment station with one or more horizontal alignment stations. Each of the alignment stations have a base and top, guides that fit into the station tops and bases, and positional locks that lock the rotating element into place relative to the base plate and the alignment guides in place within the alignment stations.
