Final Year Project

Project Title

AEGIS - Virtual Self Defense Trainer

Description

Aimed at the injustice of the world and especially our society, our virtual self-defence trainer seeks to train women, teenagers and anyone who may face physical oppression in their life. We have made a software and hardware-integrated system which teaches users a basic set of moves, evaluates their progress, assigns them a score and gives them natural language feedback. We use a camera and other hardware which is widely and cheaply available to evaluate the user’s pose via computer vision and provide physical interaction with the virtual world via Electrically stimulated Haptic Feedback. This allows the user to ‘feel’ the training sessions. We have found multiple ways to analyze performance along with how EMS haptics works well for both force and impact feedback.
