WEARABLE SENSOR-BASED PHYSICAL TRAINING SYSTEM

YoLoV (Yoga for Low Vision)
The goal of this project was to develop an intelligent wearable sensor-based yoga training system that can help visually impaired users learn yoga independently. The system will track user motion in real-time and provide immediate, non-visual feedback for pose correction and guidance.
