New Active Gaming & Personalised Home Video Services

Via the HTV invention a persons motion at home can be captured for applications such as personalised online home exercising advice,  using an economical webcam connected to their broadband network and “Depth Sensing” technology which does not require a person to use any motion sensors or games controller like what is now associated with the Nintendo Wii & Sony Playstation. The home user then just makes a exercising movement with their body in front of the camera which might be a sit up, jumping jack or push up and this movement is automatically captured and transmitted to HTV database which already has stored images from experts performing the correct movement and audio comments on how the movement should be done correctly.

When the home users captured movement comes into HTV database the database analyses the home users motion against their selected experts stored motion and produces for the home viewer in near real-time which they can view on any screen a personalised video showing their movement against the experts. When necessary our system can also add audio instructional comments to this visual presentation so the home user then receives truly personalised audio-visual instructional advice without the expert ever needing to see the home users movement.
