Video Games are fun, Virtual Reality is new, and exercise is needed, so why not combine the three? Game with VR, and break a sweat.
This project will only be funded if at least $5,200 is pledged by .
My name is Kevin Blunt, and I am a network engineer, and Systems Administrator by trade, and I love to play video games and exercise in my free time.
I want to create an outlet for people who want to change themselves, and have fun while they do it. My goal is to get people moving, I plan on doing this while playing Computer, and PlayStation 4 games using VR technology such as HTC's VIBE, and virtuix Omni together. I also plan on showing people how to exercise during gaming intermissions if they do not own the VR tech. I want to teach people how to eat healthy without feeling like they have to punish themselves to feel better. I want to build a community where we share ideas and share our unique personal goals.
I believe this has the potential to become a new an exciting hobby for Videogame enthusiasts all over the world. We no longer have to be a slave to our computer chairs, or couches we can spend some time upright burning calories, all while doing what we love.
I want to cater to the casual and hardcore gamer, and not just people who can afford all the latest and greatest technology. I want to play with my audience and learn from them as well. I do not want to be only content contributor, and want to bring people from different walks of life together.
I need assistance with some hardware items, and website design costs. I plan on having everything set up for use within 12 months, and ready for launch.
Price break down for items:
VR Gear 799
Virtuix Omni 699
Computer 4000 (Approx)
Website design 250 (Approx)

I already have two domain names, and plan on purchasing more to build a brand. I am not doing this to replace my current job I am doing this because I know I can help people, and find like minded people to build a community with.
needs:
Help with purchasing the above items
I need to find additional people who are willing to share videos of themselves exercising while playing games.
Potential issues:
1.Not finding enough people to contribute
2. boring videos
3. poor website design
4. community growth issues
Fix Actions:
1. I plan on making enough videos to cover the potential for not enough contributors
2. I will listen to viewer, and community feedback and adjust
3. I plan on hiring a designer, and will maintain the website myself
4. This takes time, and I realize that my content can and will control the growth potential of the community.
