Recreate Immersive Scenarios for Practicing Sports in Gyms - User Application

This paper presents the development of a mobile application to integrate immersive features into fitness devices to enhance user experience and athletic performance. The proposed architecture ensures compatibility with a wide range of fitness equipment, regardless of brand or model. Central to the system is the playback of authentic route videos, augmented by contextual data such as speed, altitude, and environmental conditions. This allows dynamic equipment control, adjusting parameters like resistance and slope for a more consistent immersive experience. The application acts as a central interface, managing video recordings and data collection, all synchronized through a cloud-based platform that builds a community-driven repository of shared routes. Additionally, the application integrates cloud and edge computing alongside artificial intelligence to provide tailored workout adjustments based on historical performance and real-time metrics. Communication between the application, fitness devices, and wearables relies on SIG BLE standards. Users can create new immersive routes and download shared ones for enhanced training sessions. The paper elaborates on the application's architectural design and technological choices while discussing implementation progress, challenges, and future improvements.
