The W8-Scope technology offers fine-grained monitoring for weight stack-based exercises by using a sensor with a 3-axis accelerometer and magnetometer mounted on gym machines. This sensor tracks the user, identifies specific exercises, measures weight lifted, and ensures correct exercise form, providing real-time feedback. Applications include a “virtual personal trainer” app, which can enhance gym experiences with advanced analytics and personalized guidance for users of all ages. This technology aids gyms, activity centers, and wellness app developers by integrating accurate exercise tracking into their offerings. It addresses the need for cost-effective, accurate, and private monitoring in fitness settings.
