<p>The concept of a generation of sports simulators of a competitive nature, provided by a computer and screen which deliver a picture, seen from the perspective of a competitor, of a simulated natural environment with bends, upward and downward slopes and an opponent seen from the rear, or, in a rear view mirror, from the front, as well as a competitor in the foreground, seen from the rear, whose movements are synchronized with those of the user, allowing said user to identify with him. Whilst the training apparatus, monitor images and, to some extent, the software programs of the individual sports vary from each other, the same hardware circuit may be used for the simulation of all the sports. The sports in question all involve passage over distance by means of muscular energy expended by the user, such as cycling, rowing, canoeing, cross-country skiing, swimming, running, climbing stairs and rock climbing. The surroundings represented in the pictures are suited to the sport which they accompany. There is a selection of modes of operation, some of them new, as well as feedback on the user's performance. Some of the training and exercise apparatus is known, some is new. Application to medicine, physiotherapy, physical training and maintenance of fitness.</p> |
