Wireless is really the key here. For wired VR there are actually add on programs that give you ingame hints if you twisted the cable too much in one direction so you can correct for it but for movement/fitness focused games that won&#x

But what if the scientist feels pressured to provide results and cuts corners to get those results. That may be something intagible but still have an effect on the decisions he/she makes. It would be next to impossible to prove that an

If you are already using and arduino, couldn't you the use it as a HID device and send the keyboard (not sure if it does mouse as well) directly without going through a PS/2 emulation?

If you are already including VR into your workout routine, have you considered using VRWorkout [1] (disclaimer: self-promotion). It's a free and open-source full-body workout in VR. Still a bit rough around the edges but _very_ intense

The question that comes to my mind is, how much worse did you make your security by enrolling with a mask. Because if it recognizes you with a mask 50% of the time, how many non-yous with a mask would it recognize as you as well?

I am planning a 1 on 1 battle mode in VRWorkout [1] where players have to challenge each other with exercises. I am still in the design phase but it should be a way to get a competitve fitness challenge. [1] https://vrworkout.at

I am not familiar with the dumbbell exercises but I would be a bit worried by moving a heavy metal object around without actually seeing what's in the space. I think this would be a better fit for AR glasses but I am pretty sure that s

At the moment the exercises are quite intense (or at least fast) so they may not all be suitable for senior players but I do already have slower exercises in the pipeline where the player needs to hold a cue and follow through with the moti

Thank you, I am glad that you like it. In the beginning I was thinking about recognizing the exercises but after a while I got comfortable with the motion being driven by the hand and head cues and it being just in between a game and a plai

Well, I have been doing my workout in VR for the past 6 months. So far I am quite happy with it, which is why I continued developing this. It definitely might not be for everyone but the feedback I have gotten so far is really positive.

Ah, yes. While the Quest is wireless it still would be a short run :) It's similar to the knee high running exercise one can do when running in place but I can't track that yet.

This is best described as a fitness rhythm game closely losely a circle gym or a calisthenics workout. During the last months, and due to the need to find a way to motivate myself to exercise more while staying at home, I developed my hand

Please do, it's not completely finished yet but I am using it for my own daily workout. If you don't have a Quest it will work with PC VR headset as well, although you will either need to strap the controllers to your wrists or pu

I usually do a 20-25 minute VR workout using a game I developed for myself. You could say it is optimized to give the maximum full body workout you can do in a limited space with no additional equippment (except for the VR headset of course

I've developed an open source VR workout game that tries to provide a full body workout, but one thing I am missing is an external view of the player to adjust their exercise if it is not done correctly. It looks like Vivafit could be

I am not sure if VR fitness is an option for you but I designed my own game for my daily workouts. It's mainly for the Oculus Quest due to the hand tracking but it's free and open source https://vrworkout.at

I think it has more to do with how close to the topic you are researching you already are. I had to fix the motor of my vacuum, for that I preferred a youtube tutorial because I want to see someone do the things I an about to do. If on the

That looks much more reliable than I thought. I am planning to use Posenet to augment my workout game ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mknXbyVJm3c ) with full body poses. Does the background influence the tracking much?

I don't think the message I wanted to send was received as intended. I am not for allowing students to cheat, I would not have endorsed that for my students either. But I have had lots of professors and teacher colleagues who did a goo

A joke in what way? I am not familiar with US exam standards but I stand by my opinion that there are better ways to deal with cheating than harsh disciplinary measures. That's also the way I preferred it with my students.
