maximize your excersise

why we give up exericse habit?
    boring
    cannot feel achivement
    find nothing new
why our exercise is full of CHEAT?
    in nature, human mind is full of cheat and weakness
    conventional machine don't differentiate whether good or cheated
    nobody prize you if not chated

Thus, i propose exercise machine
    full of "new and stimulating"
    clearly "differentiate" good and cheated moves
    it will give you "award" only for good moves

how to make, push-type machine (name: ergo4)

link to 3D pages


originala machine, commercially available one


stripped and air cylinder mounted


air springs added


air flow regulators


position sensors for each arms


sub air cylinders to detect endpoint
send mechanical and visual feed back


positions sensed by magnetic sensors


zero positon can be calibrated by adjusting zero-pressure


combined use of air-pressure parts control resistance and stiffness


monitor for VR world


components controlled by arduino and main PC


how to exercise, push-type machine (name: ergo4)


single or double arm moves


combined use of sensors will detect details


blue circled = cylinders, red circled = sensors


Movie: play MP4 image00
now, machine will detect good moves, and send positive feed backs
how to excercise, row-type machine (name: ergo3)


rowing machines


for each arms, position and velocity being sensed


rowing speed, amplitude, and L/R balance are sensed
in VR world, user will get feedback and award (only for good moves)


feedback will maximize your exercise


and also fun!
how to excercise, bike machine (name: ergo2)


this bike is very easy to go
sensing heart rate is important for stimulte users
