IIT-BHU student makes AI-based yoga platform to help you perform asanas the right way
A student of the Indian Institute of Technology-Banaras Hindu University (IIT-BHU) has developed the first version of artificial intelligence (AI) based yoga platform through multiplayer yoga gameplay (MPYG) which will demonstrate the correct way to practice yoga.
Vidyabhushan, a chemical engineering third-year student at the IIT-BHU, has built the platform with mentorship, funding from NASSCOM Foundation, Cisco Thingcubator and technical support from the NCL-IIT BHU Incubation Centre.
Vidyabhushan said, “MPYG is an innovation in the field of yoga. It is an AI-based and augmented reality-based platform for community yoga. The programme is intended to make people choose yoga keeping health-related factors in mind, and it aims at guiding them in the right direction. Audio-visual features will demonstrate the correct way to practice yoga.”
Its auto-detection feature will not only detect your incorrect posture, but it will correct it with video and audio assistance using artificial intelligence.
NASSCOM foundation head Ramana Vemuri expressed happiness over the student’s achievement and congratulated the team, and assured them of all possible help in future.
International Yoga Day is observed every year on June 21, as mandated by the United Nations, to highlight the importance of the practice -- defined as "physical, mental, and spiritual" at the same time -- in helping people lead a healthier lifestyle. The first Yoga Day celebrations were held in 2015 at Raj Path in New Delhi and Modi, along with other dignitaries, had created two Guinness World Records.
