Abstract

A processor-implemented method includes receiving a request that specifies a workout performed at a first time, a list of users, a second time after the first time, an overlay to be displayed during a rebroadcast associated with the request, and a skill level of the workout. The request is compared to calendar data, and a session acknowledgment message is sent to the compute device of the first user based on the comparison. An invitation message is sent to compute devices of a second user and a third user, identifying the second time, and invitation responses are received from the second user and the third user. In response to the invitation responses, a video of the workout is rebroadcast at the second time, to a smart mirror of the first user, a smart mirror of the second user and a smart mirror of the third user.

Abstract

An interactive exercise method includes streaming exercise content to an interactive video system for display via a mirror, the exercise content including a depiction of an instructor performing a repetitive movement. A video stream of a user performing the repetitive movement is received, via a camera of the interactive video system, and the user is detected in the video stream. The user or a body portion thereof is tracked in the video stream as the user performs the repetitive movement. The method also includes generating a measure of a difference between a form of the user performing the repetitive movement and a predetermined form for the repetitive movement. A corrective movement is displayed to the user, via the display and during the display of the instructor performing the repetitive movement, based on the measure, to conform the form of the user to the predetermined form for the repetitive movement.

Abstract

A smart mirror can show live or recorded streaming video of an instructor performing a workout in a package that is attractive and unobtrusive enough to hang in a living room. The smart mirror includes a mirror surface with a fully reflecting section and a partially reflecting section. A display behind the partially reflecting section shows the video when the smart mirror is on and is almost invisible when the smart mirror is off. The smart mirror also has a speaker, a microphone, and a camera to enable a user to view the video content and interact with the instructor. The smart mirror may connect to the user's smart phone, a peripheral device (e.g., a Bluetooth speaker) to augment user experience, a biometric sensor to provide biometric data to assess user performance, and/or a network router to connect the smart mirror to a content provider, an instructor, and/or other users.
