Python, TensorFlow - We will be using python and Tensorflow machine learning platform to train our machine learning model. Tranfer learning will be applied on top of a POSENET model so that the required yoga and workout poses will be detected. Once Tensorflow model is ready, we will convert it to tensorflow lite model so that it can be deployed in the mobile device itself. This is done using TensorFlow Lite converter.
React Native - React Native is a framework for building native apps using React. The advantage of using React Native is that same codebase can be used for Android, IOS and other platforms. So a single application is only required to be written in Javascript using this framework which can be deployed across multiple platforms.
Cloud Firestore - flexible, scalable database for mobile, web, and server development from Firebase and Google Cloud Platform. This database will be used to store user details, user preferences and user data. This data includes personal information, progress in app, app configurations etc. This is a cloud NoSQL database and can be accessed within the application via native SDKs.
Firebase authentication - Users will be authenticated into the application using Google Firebase Authenticator. It supports authentication using passwords, phone numbers, popular federated identity providers like Google, Facebook and Twitter, and more.
