VR Demo: "You Don't Need A Treadmill" (UDNAT)
This PC-VR demo built for Meta Quest explores the playability of a walk-in-place game dynamic. We are interested in this from a number of exergame-specific angles including:
+ Efficacy of workout
+ Simulator sickness and aerobic load
+ Cognitive load in VR under increasing aerobic demands.We are also interested working with someone to run a study looking at variability in those outcomes in people who are VR Naive (new to VR), and non-VR Naive (Existing VR users with significant experience in games like Gorilla Tag, VR Chat, and Horizon).
