Halloween challenge

https://portal.vrworkout.at/share/8265e81257c44ea0a0cfa5db97ee958f/

This is the very first VRWorkout challenge.

Attention: It's a pretty hard 5 minute Happy Workout challenge which includes 2 burpee exercises.
Definitely not meant for the VRWorkout beginner

Development pipeline / Exercise sequences

Current exercises are selected randomly based on a  probabilistic finite state machine but some workouts should be predefined, for example a pyramid of exercise durations.

Exercise Ideas / Exercise bikes and elliptical trainers
« Last post by mgschwandtner on July 12, 2020, 09:35:27 pm »
Exercise idea:

Use the smartphone camera to detect the pedaling speed on a Tron like bike that flies through space. The players have to fly through rings at different heights, the faster they pedal the highe they get.

It should be usable by anyone who has a home trainer not just those with professional gear that can connect to a smartphone or other device.

The idea is to measure the pedaling speed with a smartphone camera and send the data to the game.

Status:

  • Proof of concept speed o meter is implemented

Todo:

  • Create virtual exercise bike that can be placed by the User
  • Create a course the player has to fly along

Oculus Rift / Experiments to wrist mount the controller

This is just an idea and not yet verified.

A forearm guard used in archery https://www.amazon.com/YLS-Archery-Protector-Shooting-Practice/dp/B078MWQ4H8/ref=zg_bs_3395601_32?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=56F84PV2AGKM6BENH50K
together with velcro to fix the controller to the forearm guard.

I already ordered one of those forearm guards and will update this thread with the results.
