AI Aerobics is a playful learning interface which allows people to challenge habitual and culturally invoked movements, by comparing them to generated, alternative movements.
The human body has evolved for motor redundancy, to adapt movements to ever changing environments. Yet cultural developments in our living conditions, tools and furniture have lead us to perform only minimal, repetitive movements.The synthesised movements were generated with a custom Reinforcement Learning system. The final interface lets people interactively retrain common activities through these alternative movements, using guided "push-pull" learning sequences.The full experiment for Space10 includes research with a Physical Therapist, a Psychologist, and Choreographers, as well as further developed learning interfaces (undisclosed).Photo by Joseph Kadow
