Nike's Push Nike won a patent yesterday letting users view their last workout to push them to work harder. Turning users into avatars, Nike would allow them to see themselves working out from their last time—a way the athletic company believes could inspire them to work out harder. The augmented reality could also be used to correct a user's form, showing them how to properly complete a workout as well. Nike says it imagines users will use the technology either through "eyewear or other personal wearable items," says the patent, which could be projected into a user's field of view.
