COLLABORATIVE VRWORKOUT DATA VISUALIZATION

2 of 9

OVERVIEW

  • Collaborative visualization of VR workout results
  • Explore the VRWorkout application
  • Visualize output of workout results in VR using a human model
  • Look at results collaboratively, share results together

​

3 of 9

MOTIVATION

  • Had trouble motivating myself to workout routines in college
  • Found out that there were a lot of existing exercise programs in VR
  • Interested in tools that could help visualize workout results over time

WHY VRWORKOUT

  • VR exercise software/game
  • Open source
  • Existing output information for web display
  • Source of data and easy integration with VR models

5 of 9

TARGET RESULTS

  • Deliverables
    • Wiki contributions on VRWorkout
    • Tutorials on working with human models in VR, incorporating .obj objects into VR with Unity
    • Final deliverable of the visualization software, probably on GitHub
  • Collaboration
    • Viewing results of a workout in a shared VR space
    • Ability to share workout results with other users
  • VR Evaluation
    • Compare with web tools
    • There is an existing web tool for exploring workout results for VRWorkout
    • Compare the usefulness of a VR tool to the web tool

SCIENTIFIC DATA

  • Drawn from VRWorkout export data
  • Broken down into specific exercises
  • Measure exercise count/intensity
  • Do workouts or mock up simulated data
  • Depict this data using the human model
    • Emphasize or highlight parts of the human body model based on the workout data

DOCUMENTATION

  • Unity
    • Existing documentation for working with Unity in VR
    • Free online human body meshes (.obj files), unity documentation to import and work with these models
  • VRWorkout
    • GitHub documentation
