A Computer Vision-Based Personal Trainer That Runs On Your Phone


Date:  Thursday, September 24, 2020

Start Time: 9:30 am

End Time: 10:00 am

I will describe our journey at Twenty BN towards building an AI-powered personal trainer that runs on your phone. The trainer takes the form of an on-screen avatar that watches and listens to you using the phone’s camera and microphone. This allows it to provide feedback on your form and to continuously adapt your training plan as a function of your effort, form and progress. In this talk, I will describe the challenges behind creating the real-time on-device AI system that powers the avatar’s behaviors and the data generation efforts that went into training it.
