The motivation of this project is to provide a new alternative for people ages 30 to 50 in learning how to yoga, without having to rely on another person to physically be there and guide them. This project aims to educate people on the yoga poses by using the Orbbec and various yoga videos.
Yoga-It is the software that we will be creating to implement this idea. We will use the Orbbec Astra device, yoga videos, and yoga poses to create this project. This application will allow people to see if the way that they are moving matches the yoga pose. In addition, we will incorporate a couple of yoga videos so that people can follow along and feel like they are in control.
The Yoga-It project is useful for people who want to learn yoga in their home.
