Fitness has become one of the main reasons people buy a standalone headset. Because the headset tracks your head and hands, apps can count punches, squats and dodges and score how well you keep up.
VR fitness comes in a few forms:
- Guided workouts with virtual coaches, set programs and difficulty levels, sometimes from well-known fitness brands.
- Games that happen to be exercise, such as rhythm and boxing titles, where the workout comes from play.
- Mixed reality modes that show your real room so you stay aware of your surroundings.
Before starting, clear enough space, use a washable facial interface and wrist straps, and take breaks. Intense sessions get the headset warm, so shorter workouts are often more comfortable.
