The '360VRFit' is a virtual reality (VR) headset paired with an Internet of things (IoT) sensor that adds VR functionality to any at-home cycling device. The 'M2ME' IoT sensor is placed on the foot pedal of the cycling device. This sensor then pairs to the main 360VRFit headset to effectively skyrocket any old cycling device into the age of the Metaverse.
As opposed to common VR headsets that fully cover the face, the 360VRFit is designed to be more comfortable and accessible. To achieve this, the designers made the headset open-concept, so it appears like a headband with a suspended screen in front of the wearer. With this device, users can connect to other players online in VR and play exercise-focused games, compete with one another to meet goals, and socialize while exercising from the comfort of their homes.
