The kinect can become the future of personal training. In the future I see a virtual gym-like space where a personal trainer and your average every day person can meet and workout. The Kinect is known for its facial recognition and movement tracking. This would make it so easy and convenient for a personal trainer to not only see a persons form when working out but their facial expressions and emotions as well. Now of course the person would have to go out and buy the equipment such as free weights or a treadmill or whatever else is going to be incorporated in the workout but in the long run this would be more cost efficient then going to the gym. No more gym membership fees, no more wasting gas driving to and from the gym and since it doesn't take much for the personal trainer to get involved, the cost of his or her services would be less as well. Who knows, maybe in the future the personal trainer can be completely controlled by AI, the software can be trained to calculate and interpret facial expressions and form and use the results to instruct the user on how to workout with perfect, precise, result producing form. This would not only provide users with calculated advice but would further reduce the cost of getting fit.
