Virtual reality cycling program to come to Japan

[Phil Lelyveld comment: watching a cityscape unveil in front of you while peddling an exercycle is now "VR."]

The Trip, a New Zealand-designed fitness program combining virtual reality and bikes, will come to Japan in March next year when it will be featured in a gym to open in Tokyo's Shibuya district.

According to Renaissance Inc., the operator of "CYCLE & STUDIO R Shibuya," The Trip allows people to pedal a bike for 40 minutes while enjoying images such as scenes of a futuristic city that are projected onto a 120-degree screen ahead of them.
