Final Year Project
Project Title
AEGIS: Virtual Self-Defense Trainer
Description
The cases of violence against women are adding up every day; it is happening in nearly all parts of the world. A study shows that almost 80% of women experience domestic abuse and 93% women experience some form of sexual violence in public places in their lifetime. Pakistan has been ranked seventh in cases of sexual violence and harassment. In such situations, we need to make sure women are safe everywhere. Unfortunately the conditions of our society cannot be improved very quickly. Therefore, we need to equip them with self-defense skills so that they can take care of themselves and no one can harm them. AEGIS is a virtual self-defense training platform for those individuals who are unable to attend physical classes due to restrictions, locality and prices. To do so, we incorporated pose-detection, pose-evaluation, scoring and user feedback to get real-time training and response from avatar-based game system. (Group ProjectInterdisciplinary)
