A set of prototype stationary bikes has been rigged up to a computer to allow riders to explore the online world, SecondLife. Sensors on the bikes read the velocity of the turning wheels and the direction of the handlebars - allowing the avatar to interact with the virtual world. There is even an “ET button” - think ET, the movie - that lets the rider take flight.  Our first prototypes are based on conventional bike-type hometrainers. More conversions and prototypes are in the pipeline. What to think of rowing through SeconLife, skiing, tredmill-walking... There is no end to the posibilities!
