In RendeverFit®, each user can have a unique profile that stores their avatar and session statistics.

RendeverFit® Cycle

Cycle provides a fun and engaging way for users to exercise in virtual environments. Users can cycle through environments while popping balloons using the included controllers. With several race modes and tension control options, users can enjoy a customized experience that suits their physical abilities and cognitive engagement.

Before you begin, make sure your participants are in a chair, with the headset they will be using and the paired cycle distanced far enough from the chair that they can cycle comfortably.

Step 3: Selecting Game Settings

• • • Touch Pop: Pedal through environments, using their hands to pop colored balloons. Users and given colored hands that must be used to pop matching colored balloons for an extra challenge.
    • Target Practice: Similar to Touch Pop, but users shoot virtual lasers to pop balloons scattered in the environment, using the trigger buttons on their controllers.

Step 4: Adjusting Game Difficulty

• Tip: Start with easier difficulty settings before advancing to harder levels.

• Confirm Settings: After adjusting the tension, press Confirm to return to the game settings.
  

Step 6: Starting the Race

• Once started participants can begin cycling!
• Your view point will be the same as the user you have selected, allowing you to share their point of view. You can choose to spectate the view on any of the participants that are in the session.

  • Distance traveled
  • Balloons Popped

What do the Headset Users See?

Before the Race

• While you are in the Game Settings section of Cycle, headset users will be sent to a relaxing meadow, where they can practice popping balloons with their laser blasters, by clicking the triggers on their controllers, similar to the Target Practice game mode 
  
  

Touch Pop

• Once you have entered a Touch Pop race, users will be shown the rules of the game. They must pop blue balloons with their left hand and red balloons with their right hand
• Purple can be popped with either hand
• Make sure they are holding on tight to their controllers!
  
  
  
  
• Both cycle speed and balloons pop account for the final score.
  
  

Target Practice

• Target practice is significantly more difficult and requires users to aim and shoot balloons from the sky
  
  
• Pressing the trigger down, located on the opposite side of the buttons on the controller will shoot the lasers
• Holding down the white button on side with their middle finger will give them a laser site, making the balloons easier to shoot. Hold down this button while firing with the index finger, is the easiest way to play
• Total score will once again be a mixture of balloons popped and speed.
