April 2025 Meetup: Gestures and Exercise..

Welcome to our April AR/VR mettup - on Wednesday, April 23rd at 6:45pm for a 7pm start.

As usual, this will be held at the Auckland Bioengineering Institite Building (70 Symonds St) at the University of Auckland.

This month Michael Andrew from StretchSense will be coming to showcase two things. First, his personal work on creating an XR fitness application he's been working on. This is a prototype Meta Quest fitness app that utilizes the best and greatest of VR, AI and body tracking technologies to help users reach their fitness goals with their own personal trainer or gym buddy.

You can see more information here:

Michael will talk about the process of making the application, and give a live demo for those who want to try it out.

Second, he will demonstrate the latest in XR gloves from Stretchsense. This is the new XR training gloves that provide high fidelity VR gesture input and haptic feedback. This will be your first time to try them before they go on the market.

Please come some great hands on demos and look at exercise and gesture technology for VR.

The building entrance will be locked, so please look for the students outside. When you arrive please text or call Tamil to get in - his number is 02108358570.

As usual we will have pizza and drinks.. Pizza will arrive by 6:45pm, so arrive early.

Thanks
Mark
