YogiFi - The world's FIRST Smart Yoga Assistant CES Show 2020 Booth Interview

Hi folks, Chris Voss here from thechrisvossshow.com. Oh my god, we're at CES 2020. We're at booth number 45833. And we're at the Yogify booth. And these guys have some really cool, highly technical yoga mats. And we're talking with Vinod. Vinod, how you doing buddy? Good, how are you? Good, good. So tell us what you guys are doing here at CES with these cool yoga mats. Oh yeah, so this is our smart yoga mat called Yogi Phi. So the way the mat works is, the mat acts like a virtual instructor telling you how to do yoga postures.

And when you are doing it, it will track your postures, it will tell you if you are doing it correctly or not, and if you are doing it incorrectly, it will correct your posture real time. Wow. It has audio. The mat has built-in speakers. Built-in speakers too? This is not your grandfather's yoga mat, huh? Yeah.

It has built-in sensors. It has built-in speakers. Wow. So the sensors are the ones which is tracking your postures. And then at the end of the mat, if you see the black one, that's where our artificial intelligence sits. Now, can I get a yoga mat that does the yoga for me? Because that seems like that would be the most technological advanced yoga. So that means then we have to invent a yogify robo.

Still working on that. Yep, yep. Well, this looks pretty good, though, as it is. So it's got all sorts of technology built into it. That's right. It has built-in sensors. It has artificial intelligence. It has speakers.

It has microphone. So a microphone, so I can sit there and do yoga and talk to people? Yes. We have integrated with Google Assistant. So you just have to say if you have a back pain, hey, Yogi Fai, can you please suggest me a routine for back pain? Then it will pull out a program from Yogi Fai and it loads into the Mac. So can I say, hey, Google.

Yeah, hey, Google. Yep. Hey, Google, do my exercises for me. That's not going to work. Yeah. So you're going to show us a demo with our lovely assistant. Sure.

How this works. Let's take a look. And where can people find this on the interwebs uh what was that again the internet address what uh what's it said it's at the www.yogify.io and you guys come down to booth 45833 that's right here in the Sands and check it out at CES. So we encourage you to come by. So let's see this baby in action. Let's see some yogi. Sure, absolutely.

I want to see some yogurt. So I'll just start this. So basically the app has different programs that are designed by various yoga teachers. So you can choose whatever program you want and select the program and then enroll into the program and then start and then Matt will take over. My favorite yoga pose is the downward drinking. It's where you drink on a Friday night and then you fall down onto a mat. That's a yoga thing, right?

That's awesome. So we'll develop a program for that as well. I'm not sure that's transcendental meditation, but... Yeah. So let's start with a simple program. Select the program and then say continue. Now when you say begin, the mat will start talking. So it will say begin. So it is starting this.

And then this is the speaker. Right now the speakers are very low volume here because of the CES noise and all. Sure. So it is starting this. And then this is the speaker. Right now the speakers are very low volume here because of the CES noise and all. So we use it this way. Oops. Okay. Stand by, your yoga thing is about to start. I feel more yoga already.

All right. So inhale. Take a normal position. Lean forward slightly. Alright, so inhale. Lean forward slightly. No, no, stand, stand. Stand, lean forward. So it has to do like lean back, forward, it's just doing some calibration. Keep your toes.

Let's set up your profile for yoga. So setting up a profile. Stand in front of the mat if you are a beginner. If you are a beginner, stand here. If you are a practitioner, stand in the middle. No, you come here. Beginner. Hmm. So you can choose to

have instructions or no instructions so if you're standing here it will it says that now it's pretty cool instructions are enabled for you so it's easy to put away personalization completed it's complete so now you can start the posture so all right so now you've registered your sit is like this by lying down with belly side on the mat lie down keeping your palms by this side yes yes you can see here oh so it gives the lighting color when you do it right oh wow okay wow all right next one is down it's amazing it's like you do it a little differently yeah just stay like this just stay like this trying to adjust to bring your feet no no i'm telling you to do incorrectly so

yeah so you already did it so there we go if you do it wrong then it will give a different line way to go all right so we get a good idea and then finally it will show you how well you did the session oh nice yeah it will give you a score on you know how was your balance how was your performance and flexibility and all of that that's awesome. All right. Well, sounds good, guys. So we'll look this up on the interwebs.

Come by the booth at 45833. Check them out and have a great show, guys. All right. Thank you so much. All right. Thank you.
