The Bhout Bag is one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2023 and it's an AI-powered boxing bag that's designed to make users feel as if they're boxing a real opponent—so much so that each layer of the bag mimics the density of a different human body tissue. The gamified fitness experience relies on sensors and a 3D computer vision camera that accurately measures a boxer's speed, power and technique in less then 250 milliseconds.
Bhout Bag users can use the companion app to create their personalized training experience and even compete with others in real-time. Soon, users will also have the chance to earn JAB$ credits that can be exchanged for prizes.
"The first boxing bag with a brain" tracks boxers' movements, and helps them improve their technique and avoid injuries with its realistic feel and smart, data-driven approach.
