The recent Corona crisis with lockdowns, closed gyms and fitness centres has created a large demand for individual indoor exercise products. Studies have shown that more than 80% of the Japanese population in general never used VR for exercise purpose, but many want to try it. The main reasons of that comes from two well-known VR sports problems: expensive equipment and discomfort with sweat.
Seeing these problems, the Swedish start-up developed an innovative contact-free VR headset, patented in several countries, by which the user doesn’t feel discomfort when sweating. From that VR headset they have further developed it into a complete VR-kit.
The Swedish start-ups complete VR-kit consists of three parts, the patented VR headset, mini motion sensor and apps. The user installs the free VR app on the VR headset, then just follow the app. The app automatically detects the mini motion sensor, so the user doesn’t need to make any further installations, just put the sensor in the sock and ride the indoor bike with a VR-game experience.
The product is recently sold on the Japanese market but now the start-up is looking for distributors in EU, North and South America and Asia (except Japan).
