Abstract

This article introduces Virtual Stationary Running, a stationary running simulator that utilizes artificial intelligence to enable users to engage in physical activity at home. The aim is to recreate the experience of street running, thereby offering a new form of digital sport. The proposal was evaluated through interviews with 20 users, who expressed a strong interest in this innovative type of exercise. The article discusses the prototype tests, highlighting the feedback received from participants and the subsequent improvements made. The results of the minimum viable product (MVP) tests are also presented, indicating a positive reception. Users found the platform easy to use, with 80% expressing interest in incorporating virtual stationary running into their exercise routines and 46% giving the experience top ratings. These findings suggest that the proposal is successful, offering an engaging and appealing experience for users while potentially making a positive impact on the digital fitness market.
