It sounds fun and engaging but doesn’t the big headset impact your performance? I couldn’t imagine whaling on a bike or rower to my max ability with this sweaty headset experience. Am I missing something?
- Kiro 5y agoIt's not really that big or heavy. The apps I'm using (FitXR, Thrill of the Fight) are also so engaging and immersive that you forget you're even wearing a headset to begin with.
- gmays 5y agoThe Oculus Quest is pretty light, you don't really notice it. They also have replaceable sweat pads you can add. The most intensive/tiring game I've played in terms of rapid movement was 'thrill of the fight' (boxing game) and never had any issues. Movement on bike/rower is less than that, so I don't think you'd have issues.
- encoderer 5y agoYeah i’d give it a shot. I like to push myself to the almost-throwing-up level of intensity so I’m curious if it would get in my way of achieving that.
- gmays 5y agoI think you'll have no trouble doing that. Boxing is tiring, and you can add leg weights/body vest weights if you want. If you want to push it, then do burpees between rounds to create your own little puke-filled exercise hell. But the boxing adjusts to your strength level, so it gets quite challenging the further you go requiring a strategy to manage your stamina, or you flame out swinging hard for a knock-out early on. It's exhausting.
