Method For Synchronizing Extended and Physical Actions When Using Exercise Equipment

A method synchronizes headset output signals of an extended reality headset having a headset receiver, wherein the extended reality headset is worn by a user when the user is operating a piece of exercise equipment having an exercise transmitter to transmit an exercise output signal. A motion sensing detector detects motion of the user, wherein the motion sensing detector includes a motion transmitter to transmit a motion signal. The method begins with receiving the exercise output signal from the exercise transmitter using the headset receiver. The motion signal is then received from the motion transmitter using the headset receiver. The headset output signals are then synchronized as they are emitted by the extended reality headset to match the exercise output and motion signals such that the user can sense the headset output signals congruently with what the user can feel when exercising on the piece of exercise equipment.

Exercise system and method

An exercise machine includes a processor, a display, a deck, and a belt rotatable about the deck. The machine also includes a sensor operably connected to the processor and configured to detect a performance parameter associated with a belt of the exercise machine. In implementations described herein, the performance parameter may be disregarded when it is determined that a user is not on the belt.

Treadmill having attachment module

A treadmill may include two separate left and right belts rotating around two sets of rollers, four legs having an adjustable height via air suspension to customize an inclination of the treadmill, a thermoelectric assembly, a fragrance assembly having a rotating fragrance cartridge to emit various smells toward a user of the treadmill, a display on which exercise programs are played, and an attachment module having a dispensing tray on which treats are dispensed. A handle of the treadmill may have a sensor to sense a height and front-rear position, and a belt divider provided between the left and right belts may have position or proximity sensors to sense a left-right position. An inclination of the treadmill may be automatically adjusted according to positions detected by the sensors, and the fragrance assembly, attachment module, and inclination may be automatically operated in accordance with an exercise program played on the display.
