- Description
- The fourth industrial revolution and the continuous development of new technologies have presented a golden platter for sedentary living. Noncommunicable diseases such as, cancers, cardiovascular and respiratory deficiencies, and diabetes have reached epidemic levels as a consequence. A traditional gym instructor screens clients to prescribe exercise programs that can help them lower the risk of noncommunicable lifestyle diseases. However, gym instructors often come at a cost and are not always affordable, available or accessible. This research investigated whether modern computing power can be utilized to develop a system in the form of a cost effective alternative exercise program – Virtual Gym Instructor. The system demonstrated perfect realtime object detection and tracking up to four metres away from the camera and produced results for distances up to eight metres away.
