Idea & Goal Main Concept Goal - Connect a fjtness rowing machine with Virtual Reality for „Exergaming“ - Make it fun to train and improve yourself - Make it possible to steer the virtual boat similar to a real one - Make users prefer longer training sessions - Create a virtual world that allows for specialized training sessions - Encourage the users to train in the right manner and is fun to train - Modify the rowing machine to create an input for PC‘s Queck | 948224 VR ow | HS Augsburg WS15/16 | Interaction Engineering

Interaction Methods Pulling arms back pushes rudder into the water and creates thrust Pushing arms forward pulls the rudder out of the water to avoid braking Pulling arms irregular creates rotational thrust Pulling the arms in a regular, constant speed creates the most thrust Oculus Rift tracks your heads position in a realistic style Queck | 948224 VR ow | HS Augsburg WS15/16 | Interaction Engineering

Application Queck | 948224 VR ow | HS Augsburg WS15/16 | Interaction Engineering
Application Exergaming - pulling with too much force make you move slower => avoid damaging your spine & back - every ~100m is a „magic vortex“ pulling back with force => high training efgect - rotation impule keeps on spinning the boat => avoid one sided training Virtual World - every start generates a new world based on randomized algorithms => repeating sessions doesn‘t get boring - close trees, particles and depth objects under water => make a strong stereoscopic VR efgect - small fjshes swarming around that you can pick up => rewarding efgect while training Queck | 948224 VR ow | HS Augsburg WS15/16 | Interaction Engineering

Virtual Reality First Feedback Pro Con - distraction from time results in longer training sessions - no benefjt in direct muscle training - 50% prefer training with VR - 50% prefer training without VR - movement, training & efgectiveness easily trackable - 4/5 sufger from dizziness - having fun makes training attractive - extra weight - extra costs Queck | 948224 VR ow | HS Augsburg WS15/16 | Interaction Engineering
happy testing! thank you for your attention! any feedback is appreciated Queck | 948224 VR ow | HS Augsburg WS15/16 | Interaction Engineering
