  • Patent number: 11524208
    Abstract: Disclosed is an indoor cycle machine providing a user with virtual experience and exercise without straining knees, the indoor cycle machine comprising: a main body rotatably coupled onto a floor portion; a vertical support having one end coupled to the floor portion and an opposite end formed with a vertical through-hole; and a saddle support having one end coupled to an upper end of the main body and an opposite end formed with a saddle, in which the saddle support passes through the vertical through-hole such that the saddle support is rotatable inside the vertical through-hole, wherein the main body is rotated on the floor portion whenever the user steps on a pedal formed on the main body.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10617963
    Abstract: A method and system are used to control a virtual reality attraction that allows a user to experience virtual reality on the basis of the movements of a machine component onto which a user is boarding and image data displayed through an image component to a user. The method includes generating real image contents including real image data photographed by a user's mobile terminal, and metadata including time data and positional data at the time of photographing the real image data. The real image contents are received by the virtual reality attraction as control contents. The virtual reality attraction is controlled to drive the movement of the machine component on the basis of the metadata and at the same time synchronously display the real image data on the image component on the basis of the metadata.

  • Patent number: 9039576
    Abstract: Disclosed is a curved track simulation device. The curved track simulation device is configured such that a base board can rotate and tilt to the left or right and embody left or right cornering motion on an upper surface of a track belt that is rotating and circulating forward and rearward, thus making it possible for a user to feel a sensation as if he/she is enjoying a driving-based or sliding-based leisure activity or sport, and which can appropriately use a combination of frictional force and slippage which are created when the track wheel rotates to the left or right on the track belt, thereby satisfying the dual function of providing both amusement and exercise.
