This should be expected.
It should fall into, it was just a matter of time, category.
Remember the days when a telephone was just a telephone. Ring, pickup, have a conversation and hang up.
Nothing fancy but very effective. Seemed Sci-Fi cool decades ago.
Then came the answering machine.
What a time saver to eliminate the time wasters.
The rotary phone wasn’t dumb.
It just wasn’t smart. Like today’s Smart Phones. They are super smart. Hard to keep up.
You can text, take pictures, videos and watch movies. Brilliant.
Oh, you can actually ring someone too, they pickup, have a conversation and hang up.
We love technological progress.
Should we get into today’s television and all it can do and has to offer? Don’t even need the flipper. Just talk to it.
Would take too long to go there.
Which brings us to fitness mats. Quite a leap, yes, but apparently these new Interactive Mats are the rage.
Now you are probably ahead of us on this one.
You have heard of floating water yoga mats? They exist and the models appear to be having fun on them.
That is pedestrian compared to what technology can do.
We never imagined that technology would elevate fitness mats to a new level.
The team at yankodesign.com, who are very creative share, “Five months ago, a yoga mat with a screen would sound like a really weird idea, but here we are now, and I can’t think of a more incredible invention. The Otari isn’t just a fitness/yoga mat, it’s your entire gym experience. The Otari Studio includes a mat, screen, and magnetic camera arm that lets you participate in interactive sessions with expert instructors, giving you the experience of being in a studio right in the comfort of your home.”
Hmm. We need to digest all of that and let it soak in while we go for a jog.
A webcam? For a fitness mat? Okay. Fair enough.
The forward thinking minds at trendhunter.com elevate, “The ‘MATIV’ interactive workout mat is a futuristic solution for avid athletes looking to take their at-home training to the next level. The mat works by being positioned on the floor and will go to work with its 40,000 sensors to detect 300 different movements in real-time when the person is working out. The system will then provide auditory feedback as they follow along with a workout to let them know what they should be doing differently.”
Very intriguing.
They add that the ‘MATIV’ interactive workout mat works in tandem with the Smart Band wearable wrist strap that will track the position of the user’s arms.
We want to know more about interactive fitness mats and all that they have to offer.
Who knows, we might speed date while using them. Love the visuals.
Omolle to Debut Ultimate Interactive Workout Mat “MATIV” at CES 2022

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Omolle, an interactive fitness services developer and a JV member of Born2Global Centre, will be launching its ultimate interactive workout mat “MATIV” at the Consumer Electronics Show 2022 (CES 2022), scheduled to take place from January 5 to 8 next year. (Booth number 63421, Tech West, Eureka Park.)
MATIV got launched in the US at the beginning of October this year. It is a smart workout mat and it can be used in conjunction with the MATIV connection service. It is the world’s first multi-fitness smart mat that uses AI algorithms and embedded sensors to analyze user’s real-time workout data. Demonstration on how to use MATIV mat will be showcased at CES 2022.
According to Omolle, MATIV has been in service for just eight weeks now, but its users are averaging 4.3 workouts a week using the MATIV system.
MATIV offers connected fitness using a smart mat and wristband, which collect data on the user’s feet and arm movements. It uses this data to provide an interactive fitness tech service based on bodyweight exercises. Users can experience a sense of presence as if they were exercising together with an instructor or friends even when training alone by following a video class. (Live class program to be added in 2022).
MATIV’s smart mat has a built-in membrane circuit with more than 77,000 contacts, which senses the number, position, and intervals of contacts pressed by the user while exercising and derives movement data. The smart band’s IMU sensor and algorithm analyzes arm motion, including the arm’s position and speed.
The collected data is analyzed and displayed both on screen in real-time and post-workout so users can see the number of calories burned, their ranking amongst all users, and their score on how well they followed the exercises. MATIV’s AI detects the exercise situation in real time and provides customized voice feedback, for example, it tells the user to “Spread your legs a bit wider,” or that s/he is “Almost there! Stay strong!”.
The MATIV system comes with a challenge-and-reward feature designed to make workouts more enjoyable for its users. Data sensed by the smart mat is AI-verified to check if a user has cleared a challenge mission; if so, the user is treated to various rewards. This challenge-and-reward program started on December 1 with the 100 Burpee Challenge and December Stamp Challenge. With the 100 Burpee Challenge, the user’s mission is to complete at least 100 burpees while watching the accompanying video. If cleared, an Amazon gift card worth $10 is given. With the December Stamp Challenge, the user just has to log in at least five times during December to get a $5 Amazon gift card. These incentives are expected to motivate MATIV users to exercise.
The first batch of MATIV has already sold out, and the second batch is scheduled for a January 2022 release. To purchase, visit the MATIV website www.mativfitness.com. US users can search “MATIV” in Google Play or App Store to access MATIV products and services.
