本文提出一個以繩索驅動並具兩自由度動態平台機構的互動式自行車模擬器,及讓騎者於虛擬環境中的虛擬實境應用。虛擬騎乘之自行車運動方程式及路況可以使用數值方法或虛擬實境軟體進行計算與分析。此新研發之介於騎乘者與虛擬實境系統間之互動式自行車模擬器,相信可將娛樂整合於健身運動中。
This paper proposes an interactive bike simulator of 2-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) mechanisms with dynamic platform driven by changing cable length and its application to virtual reality for the rider in the virtual environments. The bike motion equations and road conditions in virtual bike driving can be calculated and analyzed by using numerical methods and software of the virtual reality. We also expect an interactive bike simulator between rider and virtual reality system could integrate exercise with entertainment.
