If you’ve reviewed our WeFunder perks you're probably wondering what it means to have your name floating over a planet in virtual space as a VirZOOM Sponsor.
Picture this. You get on a stationary bike at a health club that has our VZfit product installed.
You sit on the bike, put on the VR headset, and follow the instructions.
First thing you’ll see is a menu of eight different VR activities. In every activity when you pedal and lean in the real world you control the motion of your avatar in the virtual world.
In the Cycle world your avatar is a bicycle. Pedal the stationary bike forwards and your VR bike starts to move forwards. The faster you pedal in the real world the faster your bike moves in the virtual world. When you lean your body in the real world you bike turns in the virtual world.
You are in total control.
In the Pegasus world your avatar is a flying Pegasus. Pedal forwards and you walk forward on four legs, wings by your side. Pedal really fast and press a button and whoosh! You take off into the air, your wings flapping beside you to carry you over the tree tops then rise as high into the air as you please.
Ever had a dream where you were flying? It feels like that.
There are many exciting VirZOOM activities to choose from.
Pegasus
- Gem Hunt. Ever dream of flying under your own power? Fly a Pegasus over lakes and forest in a vast, sunny canyon world to search for gems alone or with live players online.
- Keep Flying. Stay in the air as long as you can by skimming the treetops for apples and gems for energy.
- Gate Race. Race through canyon gates along curvy mountain roads and take to the air for shortcuts and high score.
Cycle
- Le Tour. Race a bicycle on wide country roads, drafting behind AI or live player cyclists to conserve energy and meet a new goal every kilometer.
- Cali Rally. Tour along the sunny California coast to race AI or online players or just enjoy the scenery.
Kayak
- Lotus Pond. Pedal a kayak on a serene tropical lake, feeding quacking ducks by day and leading fish to glowing underwater gems at night as tree frogs chirp.
Cowboy
- Jailbreak! Lasso bandits off horses and throw dust devils as you race down Main Street of a Southwestern town. Yeehaw!
Racecar
- Oval Race. AI players and live players online compete for high score on an oval race track as engines roar.
- Curvy Race. Like Oval Race on a challenging curvy race track.
Tank
- Winterstan. Your engine growls as you pedal a 40-ton tank across wintery mountainous terrain to battle AI tanks or take on a live opponent head-to-head.
- Thunder Bowl. A head-to-head multiplayer tank battle with AI tanks, too, in tight quarters inside giant rock formation in the sunny Southwest US.
Chopper
- River Run. Shoot turrets, dodge missiles, and keep fueled up as long as you can keep the giant attack copter in the air for high score.
vSports Mode
As exciting as it is to be in a VR cycle race competing with AI bicycles and battling AI tanks, it gets better.
In multiplayer mode you can compete with other human players in VR. They may be in a gym in Melbourne, Istanbul. Hong Kong, Cupertino, or Fairbanks, Alaska where VZfit are installed today. But you see them right next to you in VR, in a race car or riding a bike. We call it vSports for Real Physical Competition in Virtual Reality.
This month we are running the world's first global vSports Event with a Halloween theme.
Teams all over the world are now competing for high score in a version of the Coyboy world. Instead of chasing bandits down a bright Western styled street the scene is nighttime and you're chasing headless horsemen.
Competition makes fun VirZOOM games even more engaging. For some, downright addictive. A healthy addiction because you're getting exercise while you play.
Credits
If you pick the Credits option you’ll find yourself in space flying around planets with investor names floating over them.
Some day we hope millions of players will VirZOOM from health club locations all over the world and visit Credits to enjoy the feeling of flying around planets through space under their own power. When they do they will see the names of all the great people who made VirZOOM possible… including you after you choose to invest in VirZOOM. We hope you do!
