Specifically, the present invention provides fitness management through virtual reality (VR) sports incorporating virtual reality (VR) content.

The movement through the virtual reality (VR) content is measured through a sensor as a signal, and the controller determines the amount of exercise and the amount of time exercised through the signal measured through the sensor, and calculates the consumed calories. It is to provide the calories generated through the display unit.

Sports using the Virtual Reality (VR) technology classify sports such as table tennis and boxing by level, and are displayed on the screen through a screen displayed on a display unit installed indoors and an omnidirectional camera that recognizes the movement of the user. It is to be able to follow physical movements such as throwing and kicking that are output, and it is highly effective in the field of sports specializing in physical activity as the main means.

In particular, the virtual reality (VR) sports are table tennis or boxing, and virtual reality (VR) sensing equipment is provided, and the virtual reality (VR) sensing equipment is a boxing glove equipped with a sensor in case of boxing, and a sensor in case of table tennis. It is a table tennis chae equipped with. As an embodiment in which a sensor is provided in the virtual reality sensing device, the sensor is installed inside the tracking, and the tracking is provided by being coupled to a boxing glove or table tennis bond.

That is, the sensor of the virtual reality (VR) sensing device sends a signal to the control unit in real time, and the control unit can analyze the user's exercise data through the signal, and the exercise data analyzed by the control unit is managed by the server. , The server manages data including exercise amount data for each user and manages exercise schedules.

When providing the virtual reality (VR) content, the frame rate must be 90 fps or higher in order to prevent the user's VR motion sickness.

Meanwhile, the display unit is provided in a head mounted display (HMD), and a six-axis sensor is provided in the head mounted display (HMD) to recognize precise position and rotation. It transmits the data recognized through the 6-axis sensor of the virtual reality headset to the controller.

That is, the control unit analyzes various data such as rotation, movement, and speed input through the head mounted display (HMD) and virtual reality (VR) sensing equipment to more accurately determine the amount of exercise, exercise time, and calories burned. Can be analyzed.

The virtual reality content is capable of step-by-step exercise, and based on user information such as the user's age, height, weight, and gender, exercise history information, and exercise target information set by the user, an exercise schedule and exercise course suitable for the user can be selected. To provide.

For example, by comparing the current weight with the appropriate weight for age and height through the user information, the required amount of exercise is determined. In addition, through exercise history information, contents are provided in different stages according to exercise time, but the first stage is the case that exercise time is less than a certain time (for example, less than 2 hours), and it is determined that it has not yet been adapted to exercise. Provides content that allows you to learn basic skills so that it is easy to adjust to exercise, and in step 2, if the time of step 1 is exceeded but less than a certain amount of time (for example, more than 2 hours and less than 4 hours), you can practice by yourself The third step is to provide content that allows you to play against a competent opponent when the predetermined time (4 hours) of step 2 is exceeded. At this time, the schedule time for each step may be changed according to the exercise goal information.

At this time, when providing the virtual reality content, by providing various effects that can inform and coach the progress of the exercise, visually induce the user's interest so that the user can finish the exercise without giving up, In order to apply the effect according to the progress of the exercise, the amount of exercise and the exercise state must be analyzed in real time.

In order to implement the virtual reality (VR), understanding of virtual reality technologies such as computer graphic technology and network communication technology, understanding of a number of input/output devices that stimulate the five senses such as HMD, real-time momentum data collection and processing technology, and momentum Design and development of exercise analysis algorithm using data, design and development of exercise scheduling extraction algorithm based on basic user information, and web development technology are provided.

In the case of the character in the virtual reality (VR), movement is implemented based on physics, and the character moves in response to the movement of the user using the virtual reality (VR) sensing equipment and the head-mounted display (HMD). It can move and provide a sense of immersion.

User information such as the user's age, height, weight, and gender used when providing the virtual reality content is input by the user at the initial start-up or by other measuring devices, but as the height and weight are frequently changed It is something that the user can change and enter at any time.

A training course can be selected as the exercise target information used when providing the virtual reality content, and the amount of exercise, the virtual reality content provided, and the time to provide the content may vary according to the training course.

In the virtual reality content, the exercise history information includes information such as exercise time and calories burned, goal and achievement information on exercise time and calories burned, etc., how much the user exercised, how much calories were consumed, what was the goal It is information that can confirm how much has been achieved.

In particular, in the case of the above calories, based on the type of virtual reality (VR) sport (table tennis, boxing) and calorie data consumed per hour, the calorie can be calculated by reflecting the exercise amount data exercised through the virtual reality content as a weight. There is.

In addition, it is possible to visualize and display exercise result data for each type of virtual reality (VR) sport (table tennis, boxing) and for a certain period (day, month, year).

In addition, when providing the virtual reality content, it is possible to induce active fitness participation by introducing a user ranking system.

Therefore, the fitness management method through VR sports of the present invention combines sports and health management functions using virtual reality (VR) technology, so that users exercise using VR sports content, and VR sensing during exercise. There is a remarkable effect that users can receive fitness management themselves by presenting the amount of exercise analyzed through measurement and data processing through equipment.

In addition, the fitness management method through VR sports stimulates various sensory organs of users through 3D virtual reality technology rather than 2D technology, which induces interest and motivation of players, and allows remote learning through a network. Multiple users can share their learning experiences through an interactive and cooperative relationship with each other. In particular, continuous interaction with players is possible so that the reactions of players can be quickly detected.
