Virtual Active iOS App Detects Your Exercycle Speed, Takes You On World Tour
At the few times when I find myself on the bike or elliptical at the gym, I'm always frustrated by the lack of anything interesting to keep my eyes on. The TVs are showing something boring, the magazines are sweaty and old, the people too are sweaty and old, and I end up staring at the wall. Why am I telling you this? Because someone has created a solution to this particular first-world problem that seems rather promising.It started as a sort of hack by which a Redditor connected his exercycle to his Xbox 360. Since then he's taken what he learned there and produced an iPad app, Virtual Active, that detects how "fast" you're going on a cycle or elliptical, and moves you at a corresponding speed through a picturesque landscape.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/D_9YvaCuNJI/
