When Mirror debuted its fitness mirror in 2018<\/a>, it was a unique, space-efficient take on at-home fitness. Since then, several competitors including NordicTrack<\/a> and Echelon<\/a> have launched their own versions. Today, another challenger has appeared in the form of the Fiture<\/a> \u2014 a $1,495 interactive connected mirror that offers real-time form feedback, gestures, voice control, and the ability to build custom workouts. <\/p>\n

I got the chance to check out the Fiture in person recently, and the device looks, well, like a mirror. It measures 43 inches long and, at 1.3 inches thick, is relatively slim. Aside from a plug in the back, speakers on the sides, and button controls, it looks like any other full-length mirror you\u2019d buy at a furniture store. <\/p>\n

Like the Mirror, the Fiture also has a hidden screen that\u2019s reminiscent of AR displays. The main difference is that the Fiture\u2019s motion sensor is in the lower half of the device. (It also comes with a magnetic camera cover for when you\u2019re not in a workout.) Onscreen, you can view your stats, which moves are coming up, and a leaderboard. There\u2019s no touchscreen here, however. According to Fiture CEO Maggie Lu, that was a deliberate choice to help avoid finger smudges.<\/p>\n

Lu also told The Verge<\/em> that the mirror\u2019s smart motion sensors recognize more than 1,000 different movements across HIIT, strength, boxing, cardio, yoga, and dance. They\u2019re also capable of counting reps, pace, sets, and time. Feedback also works a bit differently. In addition to tips to correct form, you\u2019re also given credit based on how well you \u201ctime\u201d the exercises according to the workout\u2019s proper pace. For example, some workouts may prompt you to hold a position \u2014 like a squat \u2014 for a specified period of time. <\/p>\n

Initially, I was skeptical. As the connected fitness market becomes increasingly crowded, it\u2019s harder for newcomers to stand out. That said, I was pleasantly surprised at my in-person Fiture demo. While I didn\u2019t get to take a full class, I did get to see the Fiture\u2019s proprietary Motion Engine tech in action. It was able to accurately detect and count when I performed movements like squats and overhead presses. However, the most impressive part was the real-time feedback and gestures. <\/p>\n

Gesture controls are notoriously finicky \u2014 often better in concept than execution. However, Fiture\u2019s mirror was able to recognize when I raised my hand to take a class. And, while I tend to cringe at corny fitness motivation, I\u2019ll admit that virtually high-fiving my instructor was kind of cool because it actually worked. <\/p>\n
