The problem YogaAI solves

Solving the problem of a lack of knowledge of practicing yoga. It even sometimes result in incorrect postures.

We analyzed all the current solutions to the problems which include:

• Books
• Videos
• Offline Coachings

But there are some problems associated with each of them as follows:

You can learn art by reading books. Yoga practices of body & mind and cannot be done correctly by reading books. It’s similar to learning swimming by reading books.
Videos are good but they carry a one-way conversation. You watched a video of someone doing Yoga but what if you were doing it incorrectly. The video itself cannot correct you neither they can maintain track of your progress.
Offline coachings are crowded and with the new coronavirus, it’s tough to imagine in reality. Also, 1 instructor over 50 students is not a good option since you can not get enough attention & time. And it may not fit in your daily schedule too.

Challenges we ran into

Although, developing the full application in just a short duration was already a tough thing. But still, we were able to make the most out of it. The one problem which we faced while developing the app was to make the whole machine learning process to on-device so there will not be any privacy issue and all the user's video will not be sent to any server for prediction. Hence, adding this feature successfully enabled us to serve more users at the same time without increasing our costs.
