SYNCSENSE creates meaningful training experiences with artificial intelligence and virtual reality

SYNCSENSE is a digital training technology that transforms dull exercise equipment into meaningful nature experiences, making training for the elderly and people with disabilities fun and motivating.

However, the company encountered a challenge when the technology was implemented. The healthcare staff wanted the VR solution to be compatible with a wide range of exercise equipment.

This inspired them to optimize the technology with an increased focus on user-friendliness, ensuring that the training technology could easily adapt to different machines without requiring healthcare staff to deal with cumbersome manual settings. At the same time, the technology needed to incorporate a progressive training program.

Through an AI Denmark accelerator program, the company received assistance from researchers at the Department of Computer Science, who provided SYNCSENSE with a concrete and valuable AI solution to the problem they faced.

“Being able to draw on the experts' knowledge during the AI Denmark program did not only help us to solve our original problem. It also had a significant impact on how we now use various AI tools in our company when developing and continuously improving our product and user experience," says Steen Petersen, CTO and co-founder of Syncsense.

The program has enabled their technology to use artificial intelligence to detect the type of exercise equipment being used and, based on that information, adjust what is displayed on the VR headset. This creates a user-friendly and meaningful experience for both the user and healthcare staff.

Additionally, healthcare staff can now also adjust the training intensity to match the user's functional level, which is a significant product improvement.

SYNCSENSE's journey is just one example of how the University of Copenhagen collaborates with businesses to create valuable solutions for the benefit of society's citizens. If your company needs assistance or guidance in developing and implementing technology, do not hesitate to reach out to us.
