Fitness Games
Interactive fitness games are being developed that revolutionize traditional exercise concepts by merging entertainment and physical activity into a new experience. For example, users can enjoy boxing or kendo in virtual spaces while actually burning calories and improving muscle strength. It’s also possible to exercise in environments impossible in the real world, like cycling through virtual landscapes or dancing in outer space. This makes daily workouts enjoyable for people who tend to find exercise monotonous, leading to sustained motivation. Furthermore, by recording in-game scores and achievement levels, users can visualize their personal growth, stimulating further desire for improvement.

Training Assistant
Training assistants utilizing smart glasses provide real-time guidance tailored to individual fitness levels. Cameras capture the user’s movements, which AI analyzes to provide instant feedback. For example, during basic exercises like squats or push-ups, it visually demonstrates correct posture and movement through AR, comparing it to the user’s actions to specifically point out areas for form improvement. This allows for effective and safe exercise even without a trainer present. It also automatically records exercise intensity, repetitions, and sets, tracking progress to support long-term goal achievement.

Virtual Classes
Virtual fitness classes allowing participation in live sessions led by top instructors worldwide from home are gaining popularity. High-quality video and audio technology create an immersive experience as if actually being in a gym. Participants can watch instructors’ movements in 3D while asking questions in real-time and interacting with other participants. AI can also analyze each participant’s movements to provide personalized feedback. Moreover, in virtual spaces, exercises can be enjoyed in various environments like beaches or mountaintops, regardless of season or weather. This enables participation in high-quality fitness classes without time or location constraints, flexibly accommodating the lifestyles of busy modern individuals.
