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
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
good sensing maximize your exercise
