Active Play in the forms of Nex, HomeCourt, Rouvy, Zwift, YogiFi and others who are merging video games, AI, education, exercise and sporting equipment together, redefines traditional video gaming and exercise. I grew up with a Wii, enjoying hours of bowling, golf and tennis with my mom and siblings and I’m glad Nex has picked up the torch for younger generations to continue associating video games with movement and play. It was sad watching two of the largest gaming companies abandon revolutionary products, technology and fans, to cater to gamers having more precise control or presuming VR/AR would eventually fill that void or bridge the gap. Perhaps someday they will, but that has not yet happened, despite billions being poured into the industry and a decade of development. Truly immersive, captivating and enjoyable virtual reality experiences like Ready Player One, has yet to appear, but it’s been great seeing how companies are combining AI, exercise equipment, video games and movement to help people stay active, learn/improve in certain sports and promoting healthy living through interactive play. Let me know if you ever need a guinea pig while developing new wheels, because what you’re doing is great!
