While this will probably be very uncomfortable, it may at least be a way to let people try out the concept before buying any Bluetooth sensor. And possibly a way to get the app on the Oculus store?
That's a really good idea. It'd be easy enough to calibrate before each session. Just place your pedal in the Up position for X seconds, and then in the Down position for X seconds, and then the software should easily be able to calculate cadence by the cursor moving between those points.
Since VzFit seems to be focusing on software as their source of income instead of hardware, it makes sense to make it as easy as possible to get started. Maybe even a run mode where you can strap one controller to each leg...
