Virtual reality rowing

All very good suggestions. I did some AR (Actual Reality) sculling this past Saturday in an open water shell on Lake Union, in Seattle. Although it didn't rain, it was about 25 degrees F. My socks froze to the stretchers! Now, if you could get a similar experience in VR, count me in!

I've been rowing and (mostly) erg'ing for almost 30 years. Having some form of visual motivator, other than movies or baseball games, would be great. There was a VHS video produced years ago called "Power Ten". They set up a camera in the bow seat of an 8 and a 4x looking back at the rowers toward the stern, and then rowed on the Charles River.

Hey I had that tape too! It never clicked for me though. If I still had it, it would be yours, but it did not make it through our last move.
