Designed for use with rowing machines, ellipticals, steppers, and stationary bikes, Holodia's Holofit soware will end the boredom that comes from hours logged staring at the same four walls. rough the use of a headset, whether Holodia's version that weighs just 400g and is constructed of washable leather or another brand, the user becomes an avatar complete with virtual arms and legs that is you only better, built and buff. e avatar explores carefully designed animated worlds on the equipment of choice and moves in sync with the user's speed. Row around shipwrecks through the Antarctic, bike through Babylon temples, explore the streets of Paris. Whichever area is chosen will match the equipment used. e ocean that provided the perfect backdrop for rowing, will recede to open up wide beaches that can be crossed by a beach bike. e boat that carefully rowed across the lake will be replaced by a bike with huge floating tires for cyclists. e more than 100 full immersive environments range from fantasy worlds to historical sites to famous landmarks. Each environment can be used in the casual explorer mode-- a ride to take in the sites--or more intense cardio training mode for those that want to race and smash their PR's. V U E N J . C O M 91
