Thank you for the quick and informative reply. I must have missed that email somehow. I became aware of the VZfit yesterday when a Google alert I have set for Oculus Quest, mentioned VirZOOM etc.
I already own an Oculus Go with the Quest is on order. I was gobsmacked that the bike already works with the Go and I had forgotten the bike is wireless. I quickly redeemed the two codes, downloaded the apps to the Go, the bike firmware automatically updated and I was using the new apps within minutes. My legs now feel like jelly! As you can tell I am very pleased with the outcome and look forward to using VZfit on the Quest.
The Explorer app is great and clearly has huge potential as technology improves. I have a couple of questions.
Do you need to keep the Go controller on your wrist to exit an app? It would be nice to do that either from within an app or using one of the many buttons on the bike. Will that be the same for the Quest?
I see FitBit mentioned, is there any plan to integrate Apple Watch? Or for Android people an Android Watch?
Lastly, well done to VirZOOM for achieving all this and for supporting early adopters. It must have been difficult to sell the bikes in high volume and this opens up a huge market to you, both consumers and fitness centres. I expect the Quest to sell in vast numbers compared to the Rift and the Vive and many of those people will be like me, chasing ever elusive fitness and willing to try anything that may help.
One very minor complaint that says more about me than anything. I don’t like the Scottish accent within the experiences. I love the Scottish accent but for me it just does not work in these experiences. Much of that is from memory of the old software as I’m yet to look at much that is new so perhaps it has changed. There was just something about it that made me depressed. I’d rather have an uplifting US accent of some kind. I’m happy to accept that’s just me!
