The Pirate Bike is a proyect which wants to link
Sports and Videogames
transforming gym equipment in order to
play videogames, while you are doing exercise!
Linking Sports and Videogames will allow people,
who can't(or do not want to) go outside,
to do exercise in their homes in a funny way,
and don't get bored with traditional methods
Currently I have transformed an elliptical trainer
and a stationary bike, you can see it in the next
video:
The union of Sports and Videogames it's possible thanks
to Arduino Electronic Platform. We use sensors to
capture pedaling and Arduino is the responsible
of transfrom it into orders to the computer (Arduino can be recognized as a Keyboard)
