    Crudio is an app that leverages image recognition to understand if a physical movement is done in the most efficient way possible. Crudio is your personal trainer which can be integrated to your VR Headset if you'd like to see how the movements can be done in your own environment. The first function is the analysis of movements. To analyze the body data of the user, Crudio captures the coordinates of each joint in the human body by using Kinect camera, analyzing these coordinates by comparing the coordinates and angles of specific joints on each movement with the ones which exist in the database, analyzing them and then, will give feedback to the user. The second function that Crudio offers is the virtual personal trainer. During the training session, while users are making the movements, a virtual PT is presenting in front of their view which will show the movements in a proper way. Furthermore, as the PT is an interactive one, it will give feedback for each and every movement with the help of data analysis & image recognition. http://ge401-402.bilkent.edu.tr/crudiovr/?page_id=2
