Bicep Curls AI Feature

Lift weights in both hands by bending your elbows and lifting them towards your shoulders.

Bicep Curls

Feature​

  feature = .fitness(.bicepCurls)
  feature = .fitness(.bicepCurls, style: customOrConditionalStyle)

Basic Implementation​

To show results you'll need to modify your view ZStack, which is we assume is setup as described in the Getting Started Guide:

ZStack(alignment: .top) {
    QuickPoseCameraView(useFrontCamera: true, delegate: quickPose)
    QuickPoseOverlayView(overlayImage: $overlayImage)
}

The basic implementation will require displaying some text to the screen, start with declaring this value in your swiftui view.

@State private var feedbackText: String? = nil

And show this feedback text as an overlay to the view in your branding.

ZStack(alignment: .top) {
    QuickPoseCameraView(useFrontCamera: true, delegate: quickPose)
    QuickPoseOverlayView(overlayImage: $overlayImage)
}
.overlay(alignment: .center) {
    if let feedbackText = feedbackText {
        Text(feedbackText)
            .font(.system(size: 26, weight: .semibold)).foregroundColor(.white).multilineTextAlignment(.center)
            .padding(16)
            .background(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8).foregroundColor(Color("AccentColor").opacity(0.8)))
            .padding(.bottom, 40)
    }
}

Note the above use of alignment in .overlay(alignment: .center), you can modify this to move the overlay around easily to say the bottom: .overlay(alignment: .bottom).

For this basic version it fills the feedback text with the Bicep Curl result as a percentage, and hides the text when the feature result is not available.

quickPose.start(features: [.fitness(.bicepCurls)], onFrame: { status, image, features, feedback, landmarks in
    switch status {
        case .success:
            overlayImage = image
            if let result = features.values.first  {
                feedbackText = "Bicep Curls: \(Int(result.value * 100))%"
            } else {
                feedbackText = nil
            }
        case .noPersonFound:
            feedbackText = "Stand in view";
        case .sdkValidationError:
            feedbackText = "Be back soon";
    }
})

Form Feedback​

We recommend using the feature feedback to guide the user if an error occurs

quickPose.start(features: [.fitness(.bicepCurls)], onFrame: { status, image, features, feedback, landmarks in
    switch status {
        case .success:
            overlayImage = image
            if let result = features.values.first  {
                feedbackText = "Bicep Curls: \(Int(result.value * 100))%"
            } else if let feedback = feedback.values.first, feedback.isRequired  {
                feedbackText = feedback.displayString
            } else {
                feedbackText = nil
            } 
        case .noPersonFound:
            feedbackText = "Stand in view";
        case .sdkValidationError:
            feedbackText = "Be back soon";
    }
})

Body position: "Stand facing camera"​

.body(feedback: standFacing, isRequired: true)

Joint Visibility: "Move left arm into view" "Move right arm into view" "Move upper body into view"​

.group(action: .move, group:.arm(side: .left), direction:.intoView, isRequired: true) 
.group(action: .move, group:.arm(side: .right), direction:.intoView, isRequired: true) 
.group(action: .move, group:.upperBody, direction:.intoView, isRequired: true)

Exercise Specific: "Lower arms"​

.group(action: .lower, group: .arms, direction: nil, isRequired: true)
Initial Position Feedback: "Straighten Arms"

This feature requires an initial position to be matched

.group(action: .straighten, group: .arms, isRequired: true)

Conditional Styling​

To give user feedback consider using conditional styling so that when the user's measurement goes above a threshold, here 0.8, a green highlight is shown.

let greenHighlightStyle = QuickPose.Style(conditionalColors: [QuickPose.Style.ConditionalColor(min: 0.8, max: nil, color: UIColor.green)])
quickPose.start(features: [.fitness(.bicepCurls, style: customOrConditionalStyle)], 
                onFrame: { status, image, features, feedback, landmarks in  ...
})

Bicep Curl Counting​

To count the Bicep Curls declare a configurable threshold counter, which can be used to turn lots of our features into counts.

  @State private var counter = QuickPoseThresholdCounter()

Then pass QuickPose's Bicep Curl result to the counter, and display in the feedback text declared above.

quickPose.start(features: [.fitness(.bicepCurls)], onFrame: { status, image, features, feedback, landmarks in
    switch status {
        case .success:
            overlayImage = image
            if let result = features.values.first  {
                let counterState = counter.count(result.value)
                feedbackText = "\(counterState.count) Bicep Curls"
            } else {
                feedbackText = nil
            }
            
        case .noPersonFound:
            feedbackText = "Stand in view";
        case .sdkValidationError:
            feedbackText = "Be back soon";
    }
})

Bicep Curl Timing​

To time the Bicep Curls declare a configurable threshold timer, which can be used to turn lots of our features into timers. For Bicep Curls, we suggest modifying the default threshold, taking account of expected camera positioning and tilt.

  @State private var timer = QuickPoseThresholdTimer(threshold: 0.2)

Then pass the result's raw value to the timer, and display in the feedback text declared above.

quickPose.start(features: [.fitness(.bicepCurls)], onFrame: { status, image, features, feedback, landmarks in
    switch status {
        case .success:
            overlayImage = image
            if let result = features.values.first  {
                let timerState = timer.time(result.value)
                feedbackText = String(format: "%.1f", timerState.time) + "secs"
            } else {
                feedbackText = nil
            }
            
        case .noPersonFound:
            feedbackText = "Stand in view";
        case .sdkValidationError:
            feedbackText = "Be back soon";
    }
})
