Finding motivation to go to the gym can be a real struggle for some people. Keeping up with technology trends is less hard, and virtual reality is looking to be the solution to couch potato syndrome.
Virtual Reality Brings Us VirZoom
VirZoom is a new virtual reality game that lets gamers work out as they set new gaming records. They have to pedal to get themselves through parts of a series of games, like powering a horse in a race, or battle in tanks, or to propel a fire-breathing dragon.
The VirZoom platform is pretty unique, but it turns the stationary bike into something different entirely. The software isn’t looking to distract people from the fact that they’re working out, it wants to make them work out to play. This makes the act of working out almost effortless.
Stationary Bike Plus VR Equals VirZoom
All users need to do is connect the platform’s dongle into a USB port in a PC or a PS4 gaming console. The Active Play app launches the game. Then users need only to sit on their stationary bike and put on their headset. VirZoom is compatible with the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive or Playstation VR headsets. The team behind the VR platform will be incorporated as more VR apps and headsets support position tracking.
VirZoom Won’t Make You Sick
VirZoom is distinguishable from other VR gaming platforms because of four reasons. One, it doesn’t give gamers locomotion discomfort, and it doesn’t feature unintuitive controls. It puts safety first and uses a user avatar to work. In order to accomplish this, the platform measures the user’s pedaling speed. The faster gamers move in the stationary bike, the faster they move in their interactive VR game. The design of the bike and the VR interface should be keeping motion sickness at bay, which is a very common complaint among headset users.

VirZoom units are set to start shipping in early 2016.
VR Is in the Health and Wellness World in More Ways than One
Virtual reality is arguably everywhere. As there is technology to keep people active, there is also technology that keeps people sexually active. This year, a campaign was launched for a VR game and product called eJaculator, the first VR sex toy for men.
This sex toy literally takes gamers on a journey. It features a silicone sleeve that men can insert, and then they can plug into the eJaculator app, press play on the video of their choice, and the sleeve does the rest of the work. The gadget can even help men build stamina and also allows them to explore their sexuality from the platform.
Devices Like These Will Change the Way We Experience Everything
Virtual reality will start to reshape our every experience soon enough. There’s no telling what’s next. They’ve gotten into the gaming industry, the health and wellness industry and the adult content industry. Virtual reality will revolutionize the way we see recreation, and will also bring us to places we can’t physically be in.
Though the technology is still very young, it has a lot of promise. There’s a lot that still needs development, as VR headsets still cause some problems for users and there are barely any VR apps out in the market, but it will grow. Its development will become exponential, and hopefully, it will also be beneficial to all societies.
