What’s it like to work out in the metaverse? With the Meta Quest 2 headset and virtual-reality apps, you can burn a lot of calories. Just mind the motion sickness.
Using the virtual-reality headset and VR workout apps like Supernatural, FitXR and Holofit, you can burn a lot of calories. Just mind the motion sickness, and wear a sweatband.
Most VR workouts, such as Supernatural’s boxing classes, can be done in a small space, as long as there’s enough clearance for flinging arms.One thing they don’t tell you about working out in the metaverse: The exercise might be in virtual reality, but the sweat is real. My first VR exercise was a boxing class that’s like “Dance Dance Revolution” for your hands. I punched color-coded targets zooming at my face and tilted to avoid swirling bars. After the session, I peeled the damp Meta Quest 2 off my face—which is just as disgusting as it sounds. But there’s an upside: I couldn’t believe how hard my heart was pumping and how fast those 20 minutes flew by.
