Trompe-l'œil

Find a way to adapt common gym tools for a reduced gravity environment and design a workout routine that can minimize bone and muscular loss while being fun and easy to use during a long term mission. In doing so consider constraints regarding weight (equipment should weigh less than 500kg) and dimensions. Consider incorporating virtual reality to simulate a jog through an astronaut’s favorite Earth destinations or incorporate gaming to motivate users.

Our goal is to design gym tools specially adapted to the harsh space environment, dealing with issues such as microgravity or structural and power limitations, while alleviating the effects of homesickness for the crew of the ISS through the use of Virtual Reality.
