Excercise without realizing you're doing it.

So what is VirZOOM? The company says it's a way to create thrilling VR experiences powered by you. You sit on, and pedal your VirZOOM Controller to propel yourself through endlessly exciting VR games. You might power a horse in a race, command a tank in battle, or even take control of a fire-breathing dragon through mountains. Patent pending software controls keep you feeling good. It's a workout without the work. I got to try VirZoom for about 5 minutes at the Luxury Tech Show and I must say it was exciting, and when I got the machine, I was sweating. I did get a mini-workout without realizing it. The system consists of a VirZOOM controller and games! You plug your VirZOOM Dongle into the USB port of your PC or PS4, and launch the VirZOOM Active Play game app. Then unfold and sit on the seat of VirZoon device, put on your Oculus, Vive or PlayStationVR, and start pedaling your way through fantastical game worlds. VirZOOM currently works with Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStationVR. The company says VirZOOM Early Access will be available in limited quantities in the first half of 2016. MSRP: $399.95, which includes the VirZOOM Excercise Bike-based VR Game Controller, FREE: All VirZOOM Games, FREE: Lifetime VirZOOM Plus Membership ($199.95 Value), FREE: Shipping (U.S. & Canada). You can stay updated on launch schedules by signing up on the company website!
