Imagine riding your bike through the scenic trails of the Alps or the Australian Outback without leaving your room. With the stationary bike Holobike, developed by the Layer agency in collaboration with the Saga Holographic company, this is now possible. Holobike represents a real revolution in the world of home exercise, as it enables a completely new experience with an innovative holographic display.
Stationary bikes are often seen as a boring alternative to actual outdoor cycling. However, Holobike changes this perception with its panoramic light display that does not require the use of headphones or glasses. With a 27-inch screen equipped with 4K LCD technology and a thin layer of microlenses that together create a stereoscopic view, users experience a sense of movement through a virtual environment.
Technology and design
In addition to the innovative screen, the Holobike also has a flexible frame that provides a comfortable cycling experience and electromagnetic resistance that mimics real cycling on different terrains. It's powered by a polymer drive belt that allows for near-inaudible pedaling, adding to the feeling of actually being outdoors. The display is complemented by an infrared depth sensor, which adds even greater spatial perception, without the need for additional wearable devices.
Future development and personal preferences
Currently, users can choose from virtual routes such as the Alps and the Australian Outback, but there are plans to expand the route library. This will allow users even more variety and flexibility in choosing training scenarios. While some may still prefer to watch their video content while exercising, Holobike offers an attractive alternative that could change the perception of stationary cycling.
Holobike represents an important step advances in fitness equipment technology and offers a unique and interesting alternative to traditional stationary cycling. By promising to make indoor exercise more dynamic and visually appealing, Holobike has the potential to change the way people perceive and practice indoor cycling.
