Description

Training Machine based on Virtual Reality

The present invention relates to a virtual reality-based training machine, and to a training machine based on virtual reality that can provide images, wind, fragrance, and sound.

The need for exercise is true, but not many people do regular exercise. In particular, most urban people in modern society move regularly according to a defined social life program, thus reducing the chance of contact with nature, and the development of transportation means that they are in a state of lack of exercise.

Since the lack of exercise of modern people is a problem directly related to their own health, many people are interested in easy health sports, and these social phenomena have led to the expansion and expansion of indoor sports facilities.

Modern people can obtain as much exercise amount as they want relatively easily without time and space constraints compared to other exercises.

The best exercise for aerobic exercise is walking and jogging. But if you want to jog, it's a good place to go. Training machines have the convenience of overcoming these limitations and working out in tight spaces, such as at a gym or home.

However, as shown in FIG. 1, a user exercising with a general training machine tends to feel bored with a simple repetitive exercise and does not like to exercise.

Conventionally, in the case of a training machine in a gym or at home, a user may easily get tired of a simple repetitive exercise and increase the burden of exercise.

In addition, there is a disadvantage that can not have a sense of reality, easily lose interest by boredom coming from a simple repetitive operation.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a training machine that allows a user to exercise in conjunction with virtual reality.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a training machine based on virtual reality that combines virtual reality providing technology and a training machine to provide immersion to visual, auditory, tactile and olfactory scenes for indoor exercise for fitness training. It is.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a training machine based on virtual reality that allows a user to watch TV movies as well as DVD movies and stereoscopic images while exercising.
