Visual impairments are an unfortunate trait that can be obtained during birth, unexpected incidents, or natural causes like age. These reasons shouldn’t be the determining factor of whether the individual can remain physically healthy or not. Our goal is to provide an assistant to improve fitness journeys of those who need guidance on form and varieties of exercises. We intend to solve these problems with a dedicated fitness device that has voice guidance and a built-in camera to help lead users into building good exercise habits to prevent the risk of injury and help them remain in their best possible shape [2]. Some key technologies would be the Raspberry Pi, USB speaker, a mini microphone, and the use of AI [3]. Some challenges that we faced would be how to make the AI comprehend the words clearly and ignore outside noises. We fixed this issue with the use of OpenCV and MediaPipe. This idea is ultimately something that people should use because it provides the tools to a successful physical transformation or just daily routines to keep someone in shape, giving the visually impaired a key to a more convenient life [4].
