If you’ve been frequenting the gym or doing lots of exercise lately, you will definitely wanna see the results i.e. whether those muscles have already started growing on your arms, legs, chest, shoulders etc.
Most men will always have a check in front of the mirror to locate the muscular spots on your body after certain hours or days of workout. But an ordinary mirror will have no easy way for you to know your result at a glance.
Here comes the Magic Mirror, a computerized mirror that is specially made for analyzing the muscle activity to give you a real-time image of the effects of your exercise. The Magic Mirror was created by researchers at the University of Tokyo, which has been unveiled to the media recently in a demonstration.
The Magic Mirror is able to create a computer-generated image of 30% of the musculo-skeletal system of the person attached to it. The image shows active muscles in yellow, and inactive muscles in red, so the user will be able to identify if they’ve managed to give a proper workout for certain parts of the body that are required to be built up.
The researchers hope to create a more compact version, which they claim it’s gonna be useful forhom gyms, gyms and hospitals. It shall be a useful tool as well for the treatment of muscular diseases.
