Abstract
There exists a multitude of online video tutorials to teach physical movements such as exercises. Yet, users lack support to verify the accuracy of their movements when following such videos and have to rely on their own perception. To address this, we developed a web-based application that performs human pose estimation using both video inputs from the online video and web camera, then provides different types of visual feedback to a user. Our study suggests that a user's skeleton overlaid on the user's camera feed improves user performance, whereas a user's skeleton on its own or trainer's skeleton with the trainer video offered limited benefits. Our application demonstrates the potential to enhance learning physical movements from online videos and provides a basis for other guidance systems to design suitable visualizations.
