Short Summary
What happens when your force is captured while it is happening? This has never been done before, not even by Wii U, X-Box 360, and PS4!
What happens? Your exercises will be fun and playful? With iStride it is! iStride converts your physical force into your gaming character's speed & power.
Did you ever imagine that you could be paid to exercise? With StrideCoin you can! iStride will convert your workout force into StrideCoins, which you can redeem for cold hard cash.
With the unique and patented iStride, you can capture electronically in real time your individual force & speed and convert this into the energy of your video game character. Making your virtual reality virtually real!
What would it feel like to play against your gaming opponent and win because of your physical strength? How much more satisfying would your gaming and workout routine be?
Due to the physical features of the treadmill & climber and the humanly mechanical movements, no two exercises will ever be the same, even if done by the same user. This protects and prevents copying the data and StrideCoin.
With the breakthrough in triboelectric technology by Professor Zhong Lin Wang of Georgia Institute of Technology, users can now harvest electricity from exercising on our treadmills & climbers and generate digital currency. This is the next logical evolution for digital currency as the currency will now be based on actual electrical outputs, physical labour, and health benefits rather than just on powerful and esoteric computer algorithms.
Imagine what it would feel like buying a round of drinks with your hard earned StrideCoins from your time at the gym!
Risks and challenge
For over thirteen years, the prototypes have been tested under many different situations. The electronics are all on-the-shelf and commercially available. Funds raised will go towards implementing economy-of-scale production and programming.
We have completed the prototyping stage and our next keys to success and critical factors for the next year are, in order of importance:
Integrating electronics to mobile devices;
Injection molds for mass production;
More sophisticated electronic and mobile app software; and
Interactive gaming, going head-to-head competition.
What We Need & What You Get
We have perfected the mechanical aspects and now we want to integrate it electronically to the androids and iphones of the world.
The first ten thousand dollars will go towards:
Electronic circuit design;
CAD drawings;
Building and testing the prototype board;
Design and programming of the mobile applications for Android OS and iOS;
Manufacturing the device.
The Impact
Your contribution will make this world healthier and getting people more in shape!
Mountain climbers are not being recorded. Mountain climber exercises are known especially for creating a flat belly and a cute bum! They are the most demanding exercises found in the gym! Thousands of people who are doing daily these intense and hardcore exercises are not getting the feedback and motivation to continue with these life changing exercises. Once the electronics are integrated with the mobile devices, exercises will now have their feedback and motivation. Also, other apps can be created for interactive gaming and head to head games.
