Hi hunters, Radhika from Breathe Happy here. SO excited to launch our AI assistant for YouTube workouts today - introducing PRAXIS! No more passively following a workout video at home - with just the camera on your laptop, our AI tracks your key joints in the body and shows your your alignment in real time! See yourself practice next to your favourite YouTube coach and power up your workouts 🙌

@rahul_dev6 go get that sweat on, Rahul 💪

?makers this is super helpful! This was the single biggest problem for the YouTube workout videos. Was always worried if my posture was correct or not, and nobody to give feedback :( Love those green lines tracking the movement 🤖
Radhika Dimri
@adityavsc Spot on, Aditya! Over the last year of building solutions for at-home fitness, we constantly heard from our users how they missed having a teacher tell them more about their form. And voila! With Praxis we give you posture awareness with the green line tracking your movements. In our next release we will be going deeper into posture correction (but shhhh, more on that later!)

@adityavsc Thanks Aditya, Praxis was very much born out of my personal frustrations too.... never knowing if I was doing the right thing with YouTube - sometimes getting injured in the process ...now I am addicted to it - works well for yoga, weight training, resistance band workouts, pilates and my friends tell me even for dance lessons! :)

Looks really cool! Reminds me of Xbox Kinect. But how does it work exactly ? Is phone camera used ? Can you combine it with smart TV somehow?
Radhika Dimri
@valeriykozlov2 spot on, Valeriy, it's doing motion tracking very similar to the good ol' Kinect, but without the need for specialised hardware! We run our computer vision ML on your laptop or phone's camera feed to build a 2D Skeleton structure based of a set of joints (keypoints) like ankles, knees, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and limb orientations. The app currently works best on a laptop with Chrome browser, and the browser can easily be casted on your connected smart TV (in fact that's how a bunch of our users currently use it). Bigger screens are definitely better here, and we plan to explore building native smart TV in the future.

@radhika_dimri OK, got it ! with TV casting there will be some delay in video, but I believe it is quite bearable.
Shiti Rastogi Manghani
@radhika_dimri @valeriykozlov2 for now, the users aren't complaining much on casting but surely it's in pipeline to build, thanks for checking out and your ideas, appreciated!

Every day some new app or tech comes out and they manage to find all these new ways of using AI to enhance our daily activities, making things a bit better one step at a time. This may very well be one of those apps. Congratulations on the launch!

@xgrv Thanks Ocatvian, Using TechForGood was one of the very core part of our mission - thank for picking up on that! 🙏
Radhika Dimri
Totally agree on the power of AI to make deep positive impact on everyday live @xgrv, glad you see Praxis in that list!

Wow, this brings training at home to whole new level. Good job!
Radhika Dimri
Thanks @sadamiak! A whole new future of training at home 💪
Shiti Rastogi Manghani
@sadamiak Thanks Szymon, yes the idea is that as more people work from home, more people will work out for home, and we are trying to build for that future.

Such a cool product!

@paul_perry thanks Paul, appreciate it!

@paul_perry glad you like it, Paul!

Is this skeleton working only for u or for person from video too? It would cool to know if you are doing everything right. Also app is very cool.
Radhika Dimri
@alex_terentiev Love your line of thinking, Alex, and thanks for the shoutout! Currently the skeleton is shown on your own video - we ran multiple user tests showing skeletons on both the trainer and your own video, and the majority of our beta users felt seeing two skeletons became a tad bit overwhelming to follow along. Both skeleton structures can look quite varied given multiple camera angles in YouTube videos, difference in level of practitioners etc. We've explored building a comparison models for exactly this next.
