1. Selecting a Mode
- Pose Detection: Automatically identifies the name of the pose in the user's image (selected via Select a Photo or captured via Real-Time Tips) and provides pose correction suggestions to bring the user's pose alignment closer to the ideal version of the detected pose.
- Specific Yoga Poses (e.g., Trikonasana, Warrior I, Warrior II): Compares the pose in the user's image (selected via Select a Photo or captured via Real-Time Tips) against the reference pose selected from the menu. Suggestions are provided to help align the user's pose more closely with the reference pose. You can create your own custom poses by going to the Poses tab to add them to this menu.
- Selfie Only: Functions as a voice-controlled camera, without analyzing the photo.
Real-Time Tips: Opens the camera screen, allowing users to capture their pose using their phone’s camera.
Select a Photo: Enables users to select an image from their phone’s Gallery/Photos for pose detection or comparison.
2. Automatic Pose Detection
In Pose Detection mode, the app identifies the pose in the user’s image and compares it to the ideal version of the detected pose. Correction suggestions are displayed when using the Select a Photo feature or both displayed (detailed version) and vocalized (short version) in Real-Time Tips. These suggestions are intended to help you improve your alignment step by step, either in real-time or during photo-based analysis.
3. Real-Time Tips
The Real-Time Tips mode shows a live video feed from your phone's camera, allowing you to capture and analyze poses in real time.
- Switch between your phone's cameras using the camera switch control (icon near the top-right corner of the video feed).
- Access the Settings menu by tapping the small square button with slider icons near the top-right corner of the screen.
Settings Menu Options for Real-Time Tips:
- Save All Photos: Automatically saves every captured image.
- Voice Control: Use voice commands for hands-free operation. Say “Ok” immediately after the higher-pitched sound and before the lower-pitched sound to take a picture. This sequence of sound markers repeats periodically. To exit this mode, say “Stop”. The app will play a 'camera click' sound as a confirmation once the picture is taken.
4. Pose Alignment Improvement Suggestions
The app provides alignment improvement suggestions to help users better match the reference pose (in Specific Yoga Poses mode) or the ideal version of the detected pose (in Pose Detection mode). These suggestions aim to refine posture and alignment.
- While using the camera, the app vocalizes a short version of the suggestions without interrupting camera functionality.
- After you say “Stop,” the app displays a more detailed version of the last suggestions.
- You can set the desired maximum number of suggestions you want to receive in the Settings section of the Profile tab.
- After stopping the camera, this screen displays the detailed version of the last-received suggestions. Users can swipe between their own pose picture and the reference pose image (if a reference pose was used).
