chapter
posted on 2016-05-17, 10:34 authored by Yuk-Ming Tang, Mathew Ho-Cheong Tsoi, Daniel FongDaniel Fong, Po-Yee Pauline Lui, Kin-Chuen Hui, Kai-Ming ChanCycling is one of the current thirteen elite sports in Hong Kong. Despite cycling is one of the well known activities in the world and has numerous advantages for health, it is still far from popular in Hong Kong. In this research, a virtual cycling simulator is developed for exercise and entertainment purpose, and for promoting the cycling activity. The hardware of the cycling simulator consists of four major units including a bike platform, an actuation unit, a sensing unit and a display unit. The control system receives signals from the sensing unit and controls the motions of the actuation unit. It also computes and renders the virtual environment in real-time thereby providing the experience of cycling on different terrain models.
