  • a simulated environment (for example, an interactive simulated three- dimensional environment or an interactive simulated three-dimensional fluid environment) is generated by a computer and displayed on a display system for the user.
  • the user manipulates the exercise mechanism and the steering mechanism to travel substantially unrestricted throughout the simulated environment.
  • the computer controls the exercise mechanism and monitors the exercise mechanism and the steering mechanism to determine user position in the simulated environment.
  • the display provides a visual display of the user's position in the simulated environment.

  • user specific parameters e.g. user's heart rate, body temperature
  • other parameters not specific to the user e.g. time of day
  • guiding the level of the activities according to a combination of parameters specific and not specific to the user e.g. user's heart rate and the time of day.

  • the internal clock of the processor can be used to determine the pace of the exercise that the user is undertaking, with, for example, a faster paced exercise being provided in the early evening.
  • the processor controls the projecting unit to include within the image an indicator illustrating the relative position of the mobile device. The indicator can be seen by the user, and this allows them to interact more fully with the exercise program.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic view of a second embodiment of the exercise system.
  • Figure 3 is a flow diagram of an exercise method.
  • the exercise system of Figure 1 comprises a mobile device 10, and a central station 12.

  • a motion sensor 16 and wireless signal transmitter 18 are embedded in a mobile (handheld) device 10. As the user moves the mobile device 10, motion signals are generated. These signals are detected by the motion sensor 16 and received by the signal receiver 18.
  • An indicator 28 representing the current position and movement of the handheld device 10, relative to the image 14, is projected on the ceiling.
  • the user is encouraged to fill in holes in the image 14 with the indicator 28 by moving the mobile device 10.
  • the "holes” will continuously change position and the user needs to chase the changing pattern.
