  VR but the cockpits and bike handlebars are in 2D...am I missing something?
Posted by: Loyalty - 03-20-2020, 12:07 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (13)

Long time VR user, new to VIRZoom...I do love it as it's fun, however what is extremely disappointing is the cockpits/bike being in 2D for the games. This kind of defeats the purpose of VR no? It instantly break immersion for me. I know the GO and Quest can handle it so am not sure why. If it's a nausea thing, shouldn't it be an option?

  How does difficulty level work?
Posted by: Shon_T - 03-19-2020, 08:11 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (4)

I have difficulty level set to default of 5. 

How does changing that setting have an impact on my experience?

Should I be raising or lowering it if I am climbing a mountain...or headed down a mountain?

Have had VirZoom 10 days. Love it.  I have not gotten past the tank and helicopter.  So much fun.  Thumb controller stopped working during my work out.  I have replaced the battery, restarted Oculus. Nothing is working.  Any suggestions?

I just purchased the bike, Oculus GO, and VZFit in order to have multiple VR routes as I bike.  I've downloaded the two apps (Explore and Play) onto the headset.  I clicked on Explore to begin and I was immediately taken to a site in Arizona (Red rocks?).  I never saw a menu to choose the site I want - but for starters this was OK.  Then I centered the bike (easy to do).  But when I started peddling, I just sat there, looking at the scenery.  I pushed the A tab, then the B tab, then checked to make sure the señsor was working.  Nothing worked - even after 10 minutes of steady peddling.  I'm not even sure what the 4 tabs do - this was not addressed in the instructions I got.  Do I need to keep the A button depressed during the entire ride?  I'm obviously missing something.  Thoughts?  thanks.

  Switching from Go to Quest
Posted by: stompdayard99 - 03-17-2020, 09:30 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (5)

Hello,

I have a Go and a Quest.  I have read where VZfit is more realistic when riding the bike using the Quest.  Do I have to pay again to load VZfit and Explorer on to my quest?  Thanks in advance.

  New user - A couple of thoughts
Posted by: Friday - 03-12-2020, 04:41 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (6)

I've been using VZplay in my exercise routine for a few weeks now and I have to say that I'm really enjoying it. I enjoy the bike rides (Cali & Italy) so much that I've barely touched the other games. I'd love to see more locations, but even more so, I'd love to see these at night. As I'm working out, I look up at the sun and it feels like it's blazing down on me. I know it's all in my head, but it's visceral. 

Anyway, you've done a great job here. Any chance for more variety of locations, time of day, or weather? 

Also, I can never seem to get the view perfectly centered. Even after re-centering, when I look down at the bike, it's off slightly to the left. It's as if it's aligned with my left eye instead of the center of my headset (Quest). It kind of throws me off while steering. 

Cheers

  I rode to the top of Mount Fuji!
Posted by: Shon_T - 03-12-2020, 02:23 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (2)

On my VR Bike Tour of Japan, I have been riding to tourist spots along the way. One of the locations on by bucket list was the top of Mount Fuji. I had scouted it out before, and I knew the hiking routes up Mount Fuji had Google street view along the way.

Now, I know VIRZoom was not designed for hiking trails, but I decided to try it anyway just to see how it worked. I imagine folks following other trails will experience similar issues.

I had a beautiful ride up to the foot of Mount Fuji. Once I hit the parking area where the trailhead starts, I was unable to go from the road to the trail-head.

I created a new ride just a few feet up the trailhead and VIRZoom transported me to the trailhead. The ride was CRAZY FAST. Even pedaling at the slowest speed, I got to the top of Mount Fuji at lightning speed. I wasn't able to follow the "dots" but fortunately there were many ropes and arrows showing the route, which made the switchbacks much easier to navigate. Sharp turns slowed me down, but even looking in the right direction would advance my progress much more quickly than I expected. Ice, boulders, logs, stairs, etc were no problem to navigate on this Virtual ride, LOL. 

The views at the top of the mountain were incredible! There were many scenic spots to enjoy and some commanding views of Japan from the top. 

Getting down the mountain proved to be too much of a challenge. the software had no problem navigating in the "up" direction...I even circled the crater at the top of mount Fuji.  For some reason though...when I tried to go down the mountain, the bike thought I was trying to drive off a cliff and refused to plot the course. I made several attempts to plot new rides down the mountain...but I just couldn't get the software to work right. I knew going into it that the software wasn't designed for this kind of "Ride". This was no big deal as I switched to my Oculus Rift, and Google maps, and did the remainder of the ride that way.

Eventually, once I got to the parking on the other side of the mountain...I plotted an new course... 90 miles to Tokyo. 

If anyone wants to try this crazy ride, you can create it by using the following GPS Coordinates: 35.336801, 138.733982

I would advise you to only try this ride on comfort mode...and don't expect much...like I said VIRZOOM wasn't formatted for this type of experience.
