Group C presents: Cyber Routes



The goal of our project was to create a website/database of videos and blogs that house a library of real actual videos of certain running or training clips. The videos would be shot from the first person perspective and could be played at fullscreen and viewed while someone runs on a treadmill at home or at a gym. Shooting from the first person would be a great way to simulate the actual body movement while running/walking. Additionally, we could set up a blog feature that allows usees to rate or comment on the videos/training sessions and potentially upload their own.
Details of quality control and ownership were decided upon so that the produt remains the possession of the company and the overallquality of material is kept to a consistent standard.
As part of the project, we also came up with long-term goals for the project including marketing startegy plans. Advertising opportunities such as product placement with a ticker or greenscreen would be lucrative means of commercializing the product as well as cutomizing it for the individual user. There is also potential partnerships with travel, hiking, and adventure companies.

I like the treadmill demonstration (its funny that she isn't running, but it definitely demonstrates your idea well). I could really see this taking off and becoming popular at gyms and with home users, you guys should further pursue this idea!

I like how you incorporated the video into the treadmill image. Cyber Routes is definitely an interesting idea!

Very cool idea... I'd make it into a game where you can race ghosts of yourself or other people.

And you could turn it into a historic jogging tour!

I didn't like how it bounced that much... I don't think it would matter if it didn't bounce. the point is what you are looking at. great job!
