Adjusting to a Virtual Lifestyle
The world has changed due to the pandemic and it may be a while before we ever truly get back to normal— if ever. To adjust, people have gone virtual. Communicating, working, educating, and fitness training are all things that are being done in increasingly virtual environments that people might not be accustomed to. But technology is here to help make those adjustments a little easier.
Fitness: Virtual training in Your Home
The Mirror, a smart mirror built for fitness classes and instructions, is about to have competition. The Carbon Trainer ($1,295 and up) is similarly an interactive mirror, but this one has AI and the addition of smart weights that can track your reps and form automatically and
offer real-time feedback on your technique. The AI will even push you to go harder—if it determines you can take it. You can also watch live or on-demand classes through the 43-inch 4K display and follow along at home.
