Embedded Fitness in Holland Heineken House (Netherlands)

Erben Wennemars on the ice-skating simulator

A partner of the E-sportbond – Embedded Fitness – is hosting a virtual ice-skate simulator in Vancouver during the Winter Olympics.

They developed their own ice-skate and snowboard simulator and placed them in the Holland Heineken House in cooperation with Achmea Zilveren Kruis and Unilever. With these virtual skates fans and visitors can experience the 500 meter in the digitalized Olympic Oval. By doing tests the users can be made aware of their health and stamina. This shows one of the many sides gaming can have and how sports & virtual reality can blend.
