Tell us about yourself
#67
Hi Folks!

I'm 55. I have Type 2 diabetes, and needed some exercise. So, for Christmas I bought myself an Oculus Quest and an exercise bike, and asked my family to chip in a VirZoom.

Since then, I've been making more and more time on a daily basis to ride 'in world'. Mostly I use Explorer, but occasionally I experiment with the Play modes.  

I have always had a hard time keeping myself interested in exercise. The VirZoom helps by being just immersive enough, despite the heavy visual artifacting, to distract and somewhat intrigue me, so that most mornings I'm willing to ride a pretty solid 40 minutes, on increasing levels of resistance. So far, so good!

I have a few technical questions, but will post them separately.

I'm excited to see where the app and system goes in the future!

Best,
Tom
