Final Year Project
Project Title
AEGIS - Virtual Self-defense Trainer
Description
We are making a virtual self-defence trainer. We use a camera and OpenPose to track the movement of the user to provide performance-based reviews, and trigger haptic feedback to simulate a human trainer. I am using electric muscle stimulation (EMS) for haptic feedback in the form of tactile feedback and force feedback. The force feedback locks the arm to prevent the user from penetrating into the virtual objects. Currently, we have implemented a small proof of concept that simulates a punch in the virtual world giving tactile sensation on the fists and locks the arm to prevent penetration in to the virtual wall. My FYP targets a social issue and is designed especially for women belonging to third world countries. It teaches a set of moves and evaluates the pose of the user assigning them score and giving them feedback. We have submitted the findings to an international conference as well.
