Abstract
An exercise machine is used interactively with a video monitor and an audio loudspeaker to create a physical sensation through a 3-D environment. A recumbent exercise bicycle with an attached monitor is suspended from an outer supporting frame by utilizing a four-bar linkage. A rolling action is created by pulling individually the crank and lever of the four-bar linkage; turning action, by moving the crack and lever laterally. A pitching action is created by pushing or pulling on a handlebar mounted on the outer frame. The rate of motion through the scene is achieved by pedaling. These features provide a total full-body workout interactively with computer games.
