Start-up Black Box VR has developed a full-body workout in the form of a 30-minute virtual reality experience.
It uses a bespoke resistance training machine and an HTC Vive headset. The entire set-up is about the size of a family bathroom.
It is one of several innovations at the CES tech show in Las Vegas to propose mixing VR and fitness training.
But one expert said the firm would need to address safety concerns for the idea to be a success.
The Idaho-based firm’s solution involves participants entering a virtual arena, where they compete against an avatar and, eventually, one another.
The firm’s founders, Ryan DeLuca and Preston Lewis, were also behind the successful fitness empire bodybuilding.com.
