Proprietary Body Tracking Technology Offers Unprecedented Personalisation; Ushers in New Era of Fitness
Australia– June 2nd, 2009 – Ubisoft® announced today at its E3 press conference that it will be releasing Your Shape, a ground-breaking new fitness title that leverages the technological advances of an entirely new, revolutionary camera for the Wii™ system from Nintendo. Your Shape is scheduled to be released worldwide in late 2009.
Your Shape is the first fitness game that comes with a camera peripheral included inside the box. Featuring Ubisoft’s proprietary Body Tracking technology, the game enables players to scan their bodies and then projects their images onto the TV, creating a personalised and interactive workout. Based on the player’s specific body shape analysis, fitness level and personal goals, Your Shape is able to recommend the workout program that is best suited for them.
The game also features a virtual coach that provides verbal and visual feedback on all of the player’s movements to ensure that each minute invested achieves maximum results. The coach is always by the player’s side, motivating them to reach their goals. Since Your Shape has more exercises than any other fitness game, the workout routine is always fresh and exciting. Best of all, Your Shape allows you to get these benefits without holding a controller, leaving your hands free to incorporate any equipment that you may already have, without any excess bands or straps. The camera and Body Tracking technology follow your progress, showing you the tangible results of your hard work.
“The development of the new camera for the Wii™ and our Body Tracking technology means that Your Shape will offer an interactive experience that is a technological breakthrough in gaming, as well as in the fitness category,” stated Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft®. “Ubisoft’s continuing efforts to innovate allow us to offer players a more realistic, personalised and motivating method of working out to reach their fitness goals.”
