Zwift have any plans to get the app on oculus quest & go? Seems like the ideal platform for VR Bike training. Easy setup and crazy immersive. I already exclusively use Zwift in VR on my vive with virtual desktop and it allows me to be 100% focused on the ride. It is pretty awesome, Quest and Go vers…

I sweat way too much for that. I’m sure it’s cool, but doesn’t it get uncomfortable during a long, hard effort or a race?

I sweat like CRAZY! I end up wiping down the VR goggles every 30 or so mins. Only takes a second and is worth it for me to distract from the VR room I have (an Unfinished basement!) You’d be surprised how focused you can be with out outside distractions. Some people even put fans on top of their hmd…

If I remember correctly, Jon Mayfield has played w/an Oculus headset since the prototype days of Zwift. I also seem to remember there being a few demos. As @Mike_Rowe_PBR mentions, sweat would be a major issue. Another possible issue would be motion sickness. Lastly, those headsets are not cheap …

I agree with you that there is more important areas to focus on but I think the immersive sensation of a VR googles when riding in a bunch or sprinting to the line, looking behind you to see where other riders are etc. would be pretty cool.

Granted this article is two years old… [image] Early Look: Zwift in VR! Back at Eurobike this past summer there was a lonely tent outside next to the bike trial area. Under that tent was a single Wahoo KICKR, a flat-screen TV, a laptop, and a bicycle. Oh, and an Oculus Rift VR …

“As @Mike_Rowe_PBR mentions, sweat would be a major issue. Another possible issue would be motion sickness. Lastly, those headsets are not cheap :moneybag::money_with_wings: which is probably the biggest obstacle.” Sweat is easily handled with a face foam designed for sweat. Serval places sell them…

I’d buy a smart trainer, before I’d buy a VR headset :smiley:

I also think that due to our physics it is really unnatural and hard to find a direct solution for virtual reality while wearing something around the head (during intensive physical activity). But…this doesn’t mean that we should limit ourselves with some tight wearables tech around the head. With…

It works very well for driving sims but it took a few hours of acclimatization to avoid feeling nauseous. And those hours aren’t spent in the game. I was driving 2 or 3 laps and then spending the next few hours groaning on a bed feeling seasick. I imagine many would give in. When you persevere tho…

[image] M_Fi: As many have suggested sweating is the big issue. I bet the headset wouldn’t survive for long if you used it for zwift. I have been using zwift in my vive HMD for a over year an half. I have NEVER used zwift without my hmd. All I do is quickly wipe it down every 20 or so mins wh…
