  • Publication number: 20230082953
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for real-time instruction and coaching using a virtual assistant for interaction with a user. Users may receive feedback inferences provided generally in real-time after collection of video samples from the user device. Neural network architectures and layers may be used to determine motion patterns and temporal aspects of the video samples, as well as detect activities of the foreground user despite background noise. The methods and systems may have various capabilities, including but not limited to live feedback on performed exercise activities, exercise scoring, calorie estimation, and repetition counting.

  • Publication number: 20160085661
    Abstract: In one aspect, there is an apparatus. The apparatus may include at least one processor, and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one processor, the at least one memory, and the computer program code may be configured to cause the apparatus to perform operations including detecting, at a first synchronization application, an event representative of an action on a user element of a test web page. The operations may further include sending, by the first synchronization application, the detected event and an indication of the test web page to enable rendering of the test web page at a second device including a second synchronization application.
