Oculus VR’s Oculus Quest now has a new fitness app known as Supernatural which has the basics of the VR movements like Beat Saber with progress tracking and personal trainers. The Supernatural application has already been launched in Canada and the US and is the best thing at present as many nations are under lockdown and are struggling to find ways to stay fit. For this the users need to own an Oculus Quest. The creators of the app while talking to a leading daily said that the new app was built with an aim to make exercise as fun so the users actually enjoy it and not do it forcefully.
Aron Koblin, the co-founder of Supernatural in an interview said that when people are doing squats, they feel that the squat should be over soon, but with Supernatural, the task becomes a fun activity that they actually enjoy. Koblin added that moving the body has always been fun and can also turn to be a blessing for people who are anti-social. This can be done at home while no one is watching which makes it comfortable for the user with any inhibitions. The app operates very similar to Beat Saber, which is a VR game that is dancey and is being used by many people while in isolation.
The players are made to hit flying targets and the players move their body through the shapes and motions similar to lunges. The only difference is that Supernatural aims towards physical fitness. The application allows the users to keep moving and there is a another big plus point that it also has in-game personal trainers , who come up and give tips and encouragement as you play.
The users of Oculus Quest can get this app on subscription basis. The first month will be free and the subsequent months will cost $19 which might not be very cheap but new workouts will be added everyday.
