Abstract
The present invention describes a full-scale, immersive virtual reality (VR) bicycle simulator designed to provide users with a highly realistic biking experience. Leveraging standard bicycles mounted on stationary trainers, the simulator integrates advanced VR technologies to create a dynamic and interactive environment for biking within a VR world. According to the invention, there is provided a full-scale virtual reality (VR) cycling simulation system, including a stationary bicycle mounted on a training stand; one or more VR controllers attached to the bicycle; with the VR controllers configured to track at least steering and pedalling movements of the bicycle; and a processing unit configured to receive the orientation and rotation data from the one or more VR controllers and translate this data into corresponding movements within a VR environment.
