High-Tech Virtual Home Training System

New technology developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Architecture and Software Technology (FIRST) in Berlin has invented a new prototype for high-tech virtual home training system, The Fitness@home virtual training system, it transports the mountain training ground – or any other outdoor training scenario – straight into your lounge room. The purpose of this system is to provide integral training by combining exercise with visual and olfactory stimuli and oxygen, thereby creating the most realistic experience possible without leaving the building. The oxygen system will be capable of being integrated with a range of other fitness devices such as treadmills and stationary bikes or as a simulator for activities like boating (pictured). The technology is on display to the public for the first time this week at CeBIT in Hanover. [FIRST]
