Virtual reality gaming has been on the rise in recent years with Facebook's purchase of Oculus, Sony's commitment to PlayStation VR, and a host of rivals launching new headsets year in and year out, but the medium has yet to take off the way many analysts expected it to when the Oculus Rift first debuted in 2012. There are still too many barriers to entry and too few reasons to invest in a pricey head-mounted display, but beyond gaming, there is another use case that has become the primary method of interaction for many HMD owners in recent months.
For many people, especially with gyms closed during the pandemic, the VR headset became exercise equipment. There are a number of exercise apps available for every VR platform, and according to a recent leak from World Design Guide (via Engadget), HTC is building an entire headset around exercise capabilities.
