Abstract:
A method of exercising comprising:inputting a process parameter signal into an input device for operating an executable program in a processor of a controller, the process parameter signal corresponding to data required by the executable program;inputting a user selection signal into the input device, the user selections corresponding to optional data selectable by a user and useable by the executable program;tracking a condition of a user by a tracking device, the condition being selected from a spatial position, a relative displacement, a velocity, a speed, a force, a pressure, an environmental temperature, and a pulse rate corresponding to a bodily member of a user, and the tracking device comprising a sensor selected from a position detector, motion sensor, accelerometer, radar receiver, force transducer, pressure transducer, temperature sensor, heart rate detector, humidity sensor, and imaging sensor;processing the process parameter signal, the user selection signal, and a sensor signal from the tracking device, the sensor signal being received by the controller operably connected to the tracking device, to provide an actuator signal to a sensory interface device operably connected to the controller to control an actuator; andproviding directly to a bodily member of a user a stimulus corresponding to the process parameter signal, the user selection signal, and the sensor signal.
