Our AI is powerful, but it is not magic. It needs to see your body to analyze your biomechanics. If your video is shaky, dark, or cut off, the model cannot track your joints accurately.
Follow these 4 golden rules to get the most precise feedback possible.
1. Stability is King
A shaky camera is the enemy of computer vision. If the background is moving, the AI struggles to separate you from the noise.
Do: Use a tripod, lean your phone against a water bottle, or have a friend hold it steady with two hands.
Don't: Ask a friend to film while they are walking around or holding pads.
2. Frame Your Entire Body
To calculate balance and power, Sensei AI needs to see the "Kinetic Chain"—from your toes to your head.
If your feet are cut off, we can't measure your pivot. If your head is cut off, we can't measure your posture.
The "Head-to-Toe" Rule
Ensure there is at least 1 foot of empty space above your head and below your feet in the frame. This accounts for movement when you jump or step.
3. The Side View (Profile)
For biomechanical analysis, the side profile is the most valuable angle. It allows us to measure:
- Hip Extension: Are you thrusting your hips forward?
- Leaning: Are you off-balance backward or forward?
- Reach: Are you fully extending your arm?
A front view is okay, but a side view (90 degrees to the camera) reveals the invisible mechanics of power.
4. Lighting: Don't Be a Silhouette
Cameras need light. If you film with a bright window behind you, you become a dark silhouette. The AI cannot see your limbs.
The Fix: The light source should be behind the camera, shining on you. If you are in a gym, try to stand under a light, not in the shadows.
