- constantyne 4y agoAll connected fitness devices and apps that advertise “form correction” use single RGB cameras to detect some delta from a standard model and provide feedback using a few cues (as text on the screen) during exercise. Not only are these models incredibly rigid and generic in their detection of faults, but also poor in cueing correction and helping users make real change in movement. In short, these devices don’t see or understand the user and as a result the instruction they provide is neither accurate nor personalized, but rather pure gimmick. It took years of R&D and testing for us to get to a point where Altis had the technical capabilities of “seeing” and “understanding” a user’s body and movement in such a way that would enable effective correction and instruction. This visual intelligence is the key differentiator that when paired with a baseline knowledge of biomechanics allows Altis to coach complex movement patterns through common faults exhibited by the user. But training goes beyond just what you are doing in the moment. Training progression is important to users achieving their goals, whether they are body composition or performance related. Cerebrus is our machine learning model that is baseline intelligent (built on millions of programming decisions by coaches and trainers) and learns from users behavior in the short term (current workout) and long-term using numerous passive and active variables (your fatigue level derived from velocity, your form progression over time, your goals, etc).
