Techniques for a motion-based online interactive platform are described. The platform makes a motion-based online class realistic and allows a teacher to visualize motions performed by a student in a perspective and how close the motion is in view of an authoritative instructor (model). Each of computing devices used respectively by students is coupled to or includes a camera, where the camera is used by a student to show his/her presence or poses he/she performs. Data streams from the computing devices are received in a control computer associated with the teacher, where each of the data streams includes a video and a set of sensing data. A 3D avatar of a student is generated from the sensing data in the control computer and may be shown alone or along with an avatar of an instructor or model to visualize any differences between the student and the model in reference to a pose or motion.

Online interactive platform with motion detection

Techniques for capturing motion of a user are described. A plurality of sensor modules corresponding to a set of designated body parts (e.g., arms or legs) of the user generate sensing signals when the user performs a pose. Sensing data including accelerometers and/or gyroscopes data produced from the sensing signals is analyzed to derive various moves made by the user, where an human avatar animation is provided and displayed based on motion attributes derived from the sensing data.

Motion detection method and system

Techniques for a motion-based online interactive platform are described. The platform allows a teacher to visualize motions performed by a student in a perspective and how close the motions are in view of an authoritative instructor (model). Depending on implementation, the platform may be implemented as an application, a Teacher App or a student App. Each may be executed in a computer or control computer associated with an instructor or teacher or computing devices associated with students. Each of the computing devices is coupled to or includes a camera, where the camera is used by a student to show his presence or poses he performs. Data streams from the computing devices are received in the control computer.

Motion-based online interactive platform

Techniques for establishing a biomechanical model of a user performing motion are described. A plurality of sensor modules corresponding to a set of designated body parts (e.g., arms or legs) of the user generate sensing signals when the user performs a pose. Sensing data including accelerometers and/or gyroscopes data generated from the sensing signals is analyzed to detect a medio-lateral direction of each of the designated body parts to infer the pose from the captured motion of the user.

Techniques for establishing biomechanical model through motion capture

Techniques for motion controls based on artificial intelligence are described. According to one aspect of the present invention, instructions are provided based on motions performed by a user in reference to motions performed by an instructor. Various parameters about the motions by the user are analyzed, derived and compared with stored parameters. An animation based on the user or an avatar representing the user is rendered per the motion parameters of the user. Various techniques or algorithms are designed to provide different perspective views of the motions by the user and the instructor and compare the motions or poses by the user and the instructor.

Motion control via an article of clothing

An article of clothing facilitating capture of motions is described. The clothing has an inner side. A plurality of sensor modules are respectively attached to designated locations on the inner side, where the sensor modules and batteries if not enclosed in the sensor modules are coupled by a plurality of conductive threads embedded in materials of the clothing. These sensor modules are responsible for capturing respective motions corresponding designated body parts when the clothing is worn by a wearer.

Article of clothing facilitating capture of motions

Techniques for providing real-time feedback in performing certain sporting activities are described. According to one aspect of the present invention, instructions are provided based on motions performed by a user in reference to motions performed by a chosen instructor. Various attributes about the motions by the user are analyzed, derived and compared with stored parameters per the motions performed by a chosen instructor. An animation based on the user or an avatar representing the user is rendered per the motion attributes of the user. Various techniques or algorithms are designed to provide different perspective views of the motions by the user and the instructor and compare the motions or poses by the user and the instructor.

Motion management via conductive threads embedded in clothing material

Techniques for showing comparisons between motions performed by a user and a chosen instructor are described. According to one aspect of the technique, an avatar is rendered in a computing device from attributes derived from the motions. A representation of similar motions performed by a chosen instructor is retrieved from a database. A display of the avatar next to the representation is then provided to show possible differences in poses or motions by the user and the instructor. The differences may be highlighted. The display is adjusted in a perspective view to help the user see clearly where to start or improve his moves in view of what the instructor is doing.
