Blync is a product that turns any bike into a virtual reality controller. A path sensor that detects the direction of the front wheel of a bicycle and a speed sensor that detects the rotational speed of the rear wheel allows you to enjoy cycling in virtual reality.
This system not only records speed, distance, and calories burned using a dedicated app, but also allows you to create and share avatars and stages yourself using software. Regardless of the weather, you can use your own bicycle at home and enjoy cycling.
For this product, a stand to fix the rear wheel and a virtual reality headset must be prepared separately. However, you can run between first- and third-person perspectives while moving back and forth in a realistic virtual world. It is also possible to enjoy 2D using a computer monitor without a virtual reality headset.
This product also raised funds through Kickstarter, a crowdfunding site. More information on the product can be found here .
