GreenFit: Renewable Energy and Interactive Entertainment

Renewable energy is a booking technology nowadays where several engineering applications are centralized on such technique. However, integrating sports, gaming, and renewable energy in a full system has not been developed so far. Therefore, this paper proposes the GreenFit, a renewable energy and interactive entertainment system. This novel smart trainer comprises two interconnected components that combine electrical power generation and engaging gaming experiences. Firstly, the system focuses on renewable energy generation during physical activities. A generator installed on the bicycle captures the electricity generated by pedaling, creating a self-sustaining source of green energy. This eco-friendly approach not only encourages sustainable practices but also involves users directly in the energy generation process during their workouts. Secondly, the Smart Trainer features an interactive gaming interface, enhancing the fitness experience. Equipped with sensors that respond to the user's pedaling, the connected game behaves in real-time to match the workout's pace and intensity. The virtual environment reacts instantly to user movements, including braking, steering, and moving left or right, providing an immersive and responsive gaming experience. To sum up, this research paper focuses specifically on the development and evaluation of the GreenFit system, highlighting its innovative integration of renewable energy and gaming. Testing and validation yield in very good results.
