This is just a first test upload to demonstrate how I hooked up a Vuzix VR920 head mounted display and a bike sensor to my computer to allow me to have a bit more of an enjoyable experience while peddling away the calories in my garage on the stationary bike. More information here: bako.ca
OR you can actually just go cycling outdoor…
awesome!!!!!
Man you are genius!!!!!!!!!
Amazing!
Genius!!
This is great! You should include the steering somehow…
i think ud get a head each after a while
genius! as others have asked, can you turn? or only go straight?
We adore you and your giant brain Aki!!
So would I! I want to visit Japan SOOOO bad.
You are a genius!
Please sell those to the public!
Also with my choppy connection, a way to pre-cache my route would be helpful.
Really cool, but doesnt the google picture morph make you feel sick after a while?
Wow… That’s brilliant. If it could turn, I’d probably never stop using it (if I had one of course). I already spend hours wandering the streets of Japan on Street View; it’d be epic on this setup.
can you turn corners?
mate you should consider selling kits so people can do this at home. I would definately buy one as I dont have good enough technical knowledge to do this myself.
Have you made a software application that you could just install on your laptop and run that you can download from somewhere?
This is absolutely awesome.
i meant “seamless” there obviously
nice one dude, you should make it slowly zoom on the image when you’re looking forward to make the transition between frames more seemless
Great work!
With a fan in front you’ll have headwind…
a nicer transition between positions would be nice
im jealous your vr set up is awesomee
thanks! turning out that I need to work in some patches for planned routes. I keep wandering too much. 0:)
I was thinking I could the beagleboard later on, I think it has enough power to support this…
Currently, the only thing that stays on the bike is the sensor though, everything else I can just bring down and easily plug in.
I’m not convinced there’s a huge market for something like this. The displays, as really cool as they are, are still somewhat uncomfortable and very low res (VGA) for the price point.
(Though it’s still absolutely amazing technology)
I am jealous, that app looks great =) (I’m using a WinMo phone)
i was totally thinking about doing this kind of set up but in a car so my street view would update automatically to my cars location but turns out the new google navigation i just got on my g1 can do that
