<p>A virtual-reality exercise system (30) includes a computer system (70), visual display system (20), audio system, exercise mechanism (80), unit controls and an adjustable steering mechanism (74). A recumbent bicycle and video display are supported on an inner frame (16) that is suspended from an outer frame via a plural degree of freedom hinge (104), whereby this configuration allows users to move left, right, forward and backward. Adjustable handles (174) provide the user with accurate control over inner frame motion. Control or input devices (74) disposed on the handles permit the user to select from among a series of virtual environments and to interact with those environments. Audio is linked to each virtual environment which are monitored and controlled by the computer system. The computer system basically records all changes within the virtual environment and the user movements within that environment, and provides feedback to the user. Further, the computer system may adjust the virtual environment response to user preference to achieve a balanced workout.</p> |
