Abstract

In this study, a system that combines real 360° virtual reality based with a stationary bike. We use a 360° camera to record movies in the real world. The system was developed through Unity Engine and connected to a stationary bicycle through Bluetooth. We provide A) HTC-Vive head-mounted display, HMD, B) PC and C) Android versions for the elderly. In this test, we use HMD and screen as the viewing medium for the feelings of the elderly. The results show that the elderly has a very high willingness and preference for viewing on the screen, and they believe that this system is beneficial for lower limb exercises, but it is not suitable for HMD because it is prone to dizziness. In the future, we will continue to test the tablet and the screen, combined with the heart rate function. We expect that the system can be implemented in elderly life.
