GIVE YOUR VR WORKOUTS A DESTINATION. Enjoy VR fitness adventures with friends, without leaving your home or gym, on your fitness treadmill or without one. And now a stationary bike option is available!
Just hop on a treadmill or bike, wirelessly connect, and start exercising. Octonic’s Motion Engine precisely aligns speed in VR with the speed of the treadmill or bike, allowing users to exercise seamlessly in VR worlds we’ve developed. You’ll see your treadmill or bike in passthrough, making the experience natural and safe.
Octonic wirelessly connects the Quest with numerous Bluetooth FTMS-compatible treadmill and bike brands. On treadmills, users fully control the machine (incl. start/stop and speed) from VR. On bikes, VR speed matches the physical bike speed, while users can control resistance right from VR. In non-connected mode, Octonic is compatible with all fitness treadmills.
For those without access to fitness machines, we offer a stationary, run-in-place mode.
Demos of all our VR worlds, which include gaming, competitive, and recreational trails, are included with your free download. Full worlds are available in-app as à la carte purchases or an all-worlds bundle.
Octonic supports a swappable hand-tracking and controller interface. We recommend a non-fabric head strap, like Kiwi.
Quest 3 very buggy. I bought a scene. The one in the forest. I press on start there's the countdown and at zero nothing happened. Press on stop and I start moving but noting else works. And by aware there's no refund.
Not for exercise bike. I have an exercise bike with a cadence sensor that I use for other apps. Looking for an alternative, I tried this. Setting up was not very straightforward and I had an issue where the touch screen sat behind my bike’s console so I had difficulty in pressing the controls. It looks like you can move the screen but that control was also behind the console so couldn’t use it.
I trialled the very short trial I thought that the movement and graphics were great and it would be a useful addition for my fitness. I thought I might as well give the 3 month subscription a go to experience the full app and everything it does. Unfortunately, the bike can only access a very small number of the worlds! I must have missed where this was explained but it was something I did not know prior to paying for 3 months. Had I known this, I would not have signed up. Unfortunately this is a big rip off people who use exercise bikes. Yes, there is the possibility I could walk, but it don’t have a treadmill and I am medically advised not to walk for exercise due to an existing knee injury so what waste of money for me.
If the trial included full access for a week, this would have been identified earlier. Unfortunately there is no refund. I am not happy at all.
nice idea but needs work. The bad - demo modes are short, or course, because they are demos. The graphics in this app are very primitive. If you are going to start charging or make this subscription based, not many will pay for the graphic part of this. The scenes are very carton like and not realistic at all. You should make some real street scenes. The music also has to get better. I was having trouble selecting the music. It would not go to rock at all. I don't know if that is because it was demo mode, but the rest of the music wasn't very entertaining either. Not something I would want to work out to. The gold standard in VR is Beat Sabar. I know this is not the same type of app, but if you have any notion of marketing this for subscription or just charging a flat fee this has to get a lot better. When I think of great graphics I think of Supernatural or Les Mils graphics. I choose the running in place mode and got boring very quickly. Compared to like a Peleton graphics it is worlds apart. The good - the idea of running with others and getting points was a nice touch. The fact that you can use it with or without tradmill equipment is a really nice idea, but again as I said this gets boring really quick in this app. I don't think anyone would continue to pay for a subscription to this as it is, needs a lot of work and more - more realistic graphics and much better music. As is maybe someone would pay $9.99 for this and not ask for their money back after one try. I am looking for a good running in place type of game in VR and though you might be it, but it really falls short. In the future with some big changes I might consider buying it because I don't have room for a treadmil . Thanks for the free trial
Could be better. Setting it up on treadmill was easy, but the game would be ideal if you could use it too jog thru the likes of central park, and other areas alike from all different countries, along certain pathways and so on, if it had those places then I would be buying it, but for now it's just too cartoonie, and giving you places that you would never do a run on, i mean who runs in space.... 😂😂
Really enjoying this so far! Went hunting for an app that I could take a walk with my friends living in other cities and came across this one. We are loving it so far! We all hop on our respective treadmills and off we go, chatting and working out like we used to do in person. I see where you are going with the graphics and that the possibilities are endless! Looking forward to more multi-player worlds and additional features!
lifeless envs but amazing project. I enjoy a lot the walk in site mode, execution is perfect. I still have to test if it will work with elliptical machines but i guess that might be possible. About music it is bad but i wonder if you can add a web browser to spotify and/or youtube so people can open spotify in-game. that would be reeeeally awesome. I think there are no environmental sounds but i might be wrong cause i dont remember. About environments they lack life and i guess that is happening because of the type of environments they are, they take a lot of storage so maybe some optimization is required. About pricing model people dont like subscription model so selling worlds and customization for avatar might be the way to go, cut a little bit with the sporty guy/girl avatar and make more creative designs, avatar doesn't need sports clothing it needs to be cool while passing by the left of your running pal :D
great idea but needs a lot of changes. Couldn't convince me to subscribe. Gives you a few minutes to try but it's still limited (no music, not full experience, etc). The treadmill person also blocked my vision so that's annoying and another deterrence from subscribing (perhaps I could lower the treadmill pace demo doll but it took a lot of front vision so can't miss the treadmill dummy.
It's boring and fake vr. Too bad there's nothing in real life. Like the streets of Seoul, etc etc. if it had real life videos, that would be enchanting. Otherwise, I don't see any incentive until they make these changes.
Great idea - bad execution. Hello, this is Bing. I can help you with replacing profanity in your text. Here is the result:
Great idea, mediocre graphics to be polite and a crazy company which thinks I will spend 40 bucks on a far from good demo which is only working with 0.25 miles per hour - I'm living outside the US with 7.75 billion other people using metric units and so does my walking pad. Guess, you need some help from a sales and marketing professional. First you need to impress me, build a reputation, then you need to look me an - and then you can ask for more money. But providing a a lousy demo with poor graphics, not even enabling us non US citizens to let it use the same metric system like our treadmills do - because your absent tester didn't find out that the crippled demo mode is preventing to switch to metric and then I'm still limited to 0.25 miles per hour. What do you guys think - that I will run 10 kilometers in demo and you cannot charge me for that distance or what's the idea of upsetting and annoying the rare guy who takes the burden and tests this poc? If you need money to pay the devs my 30 bucks won't help. I would ask for a refund anyway if it's this bad. So you see - instead of building a good reputation, binding me to you you upset me and made me write a bad review. Go ask some marketing guy for advice... I really tried hard to find and love this app. But come on, guys, you can do better. Do your homework first, then try to sell me a subscription. Not the opposite - forcing me into a subscription but scaring me away in the sales pitch...
