Description: The VirZOOM Gamepad Emulator, or VZGE, is an application that allows you to use the VirZOOM Bike Controller as a normal joystick. The application uses the buttons on the bike, the pedal speed, as well as the Oculus or Vive’s position tracking as input into games, disguised as normal joystick input.
Review: If you are lucky enough to own a VirZOOM Bike Controller or at the very least the kit to transform your own exercise cycle into one this tool will help you map the controls and buttons to your equipment. For most people, this will make some games almost unplayable and others a lot more fun. But there is the VirZOOM Arcade with a few good ones to try. While you can play other games with this emulator I wouldn’t try and it will be a lot harder to play. For most people, this is not something worth downloading, but for those who do need it, the instructions will tell you to do this anyway.
