The control system for the Mandala® GX technology is body-gesture-based, making it a natural for the areas of fitness and rehabilitation/physiotherapy. The combination of convincing video immersion and full-body interaction produces an exhilarating experience of body awareness, while providing a powerful tool for aerobics and agility training. Applications are created to get people moving and motivated by keeping their interest high. With these applications, people improve their level of fitness while their minds are occupied by the virtual world they are seeing themselves in.
Vivid's patented video-gesture analysis technology uses a video camera to place the user's image in a real-time 3D rendered world where they can interact and control animation imagery with the live real-time video image of their body. All body-movements can be tracked and analyzed as the users image touches the surrounding animation. The Mandala® GX technology can be used on its own, or as an enhancement to pre-existing rehabilitation/fitness equipment.
Databases can be assembled to measure performance improvements and video imagery can be saved for playback analysis purposes.
