Using Digital Twins in the Metaverse for Virtual Coaching of Technique in Health and Sports
Abstract
A digital twin is a virtual representation of a real-world subject. In the wellness industry, as in sports and fitness, individuals have a need to learn and improve their technique for a variety of movements. This can include diverse scenarios such as correcting flaws in gait, performing physical rehab (Frenkel exercises) or serving a tennis ball. Using inertial sensors or camera-based pose estimation, it is possible to capture and analyze the motion of subjects with high accuracy. This can then be mapped to digital twins (avatars) in the Metaverse to demonstrate flaws in technique tothe subjects, with precise visual recommendations on how to improve. This presentation will cover the digital twin (Metaverse) technologies involved in demonstrating the flaws in technique to the subjects along with how to improve, and the AI and inertial sensing technologies involved in collecting and analyzing the movements.
