HI, I’m Nelly Morel and I’m the Community Coordinator on Your Shape Fitness Evolved.
I’m here with Igor the Creative director of the game.
Welcome!
So tell us about this exciting new product. 0:00:26.900,0:00:30.900 Basically Your Shape Fitness Evolved was developed exclusively for connect.
And it’s probably one of the games that really uses the possibilities of the new camera from Microsoft.
The one thing that we did is we projected the player into the game.
We used brand new technologies that allow us to put the player right into the virtual world.
Which is pretty cool because first you can see yourself in a totally new way.
Secondary we can provide the player with relevant feedbacks
from a fitness perspective.
Then they can correct their movements and get the right moves.
Could you tell us a little about the connect technology?
The Connect technology is basically a camera,
that is also capable of getting the 3D signal from the field of view,
which basically allows us to track any movements
Normally the hardware and the software are made so that we can
basically get more or less the whole skeleton of your body.
Which means that we know what you do, when you do it
and very precisely.
So every single point of your body.
Yes and we know exactly your size,
the angles between your arm and your body.
All that kind of stuff we know in real time
And we can of course use it to correct your movements and make you do it better.
- That’s amazing! - That’s pretty cool.
So what kind of feedback can it provide? How will it help people?
As you are in the game, as you can see your body in the game,
basically, for example, you can actually see the angles drawn on your body
and you can know when you’re holding the right position or not,
which allows you to correct yourself in real time.
It’s as if you had a coach behind you
just moving your hand, saying « that’s the right one », just keep it and you’re good.
- So yeah, it’s pretty new. - That’s awesome.
Tell us about the workouts in the game that people are gonna get to do.
You have different kinds of workouts. You have the classical fitness ones,
You will have some fitness programs just designed for yourself.
You will get assessed by the coach
and depending on your fitness level you will get the right movements to practice just for you.
That’s the basic program. Then you have special classes,
some of them are designed to provide zenny, tai-chiesque kind of routines.
You will have also types of men-oriented routines.
And also world dance, all that kind of stuff.
So it works for men and for women.
Of course, it’s for men and women. Basically it’s for all the people that want to get fit.
So you’ve been working on this game for a while now, so I’m sure you’ve got a lot of workout.
Yes, I practiced a lot actually.
The best story is that we got some testers who have lost 12 pounds within one month testing the game.
So yeah we think it works.
But generally speaking, Connect is like other fitness solutions
because you do move in front of the TV and this one is actually made just for that, so…
So if it worked for the testers, it will definitely work for you guys.
That’s amazing to hear that they actually lost weight, doing the game and all that.
In one month losing 12 pounds is pretty impressive.
Thank you for talking to us about Your Shape Fitness Evolved,
we’re gonna be hearing more about the game so thank you.
Thank you very much.
