VRow - Virtual Reality Rowing
Oliver Queck
VRow is a prototype to test Virtual Reality devices like the Oculus Rift in combination with a fitness rowing machine. The prototype enables the user to play a simple game with complex, stereoscopic graphics. The software content is developed to give the user goals and a fun atmosphere to train in. It also includes functions which help you train in the right way. You can move the arms of the rowing machine to accelerate your virtual boat or steer it when pulling uneven. The main goal is to use "gamification" as a way to motivate users for longer training sessions more frequently.
