Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL CYCLING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/200612
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present disclosure regards a computer-implemented method of physically interacting with an exercise bike comprising: receiving an output signal from the exercise bike, said output signal being based on physical activity of a user on the exercise bike; providing real-time visualisation on a display of a digital user avatar representing the user riding a digital bicycle in a virtual cycling game, wherein the user is part of a cycling team comprising at least one virtual team member in addition to the digital user avatar, and wherein a speed of the user in the virtual cycling game is based on the output signal from the exercise bike; and receiving instruction input from the user to control at least one action of at least one of the virtual team members; and updating the virtual cycling game based on said at least one action, such that the user must adjust the physical activity on the exercise bike in order for the digital user avatar to follow along in the virtual cycling game.
