Idea
As we discussed, we realized that the future of the health and fitness industry would largely rely on motion capture technology. We envision a future where people can take fitness classes online via animations simulating humans instead of needing physical personal trainers at every location. Thus, we decided to play into this by recording movements of basic exercises such as star jumps and jogging on the spot.
Process
We used Rokoko Vision to capture Henry’s motion. We first took a video of Henry using the Camera app on the iPhone. Then we uploaded that video on Rokoko Vision and the software processed the movement and turned it into an animation.
