Augmented Reality Route Creator platform by ROUVY is now accessibly for all users
Introducing the Route Creator: Revolutionising Indoor Cycling on ROUVY
The virtual training platform, ROUVY, has introduced a groundbreaking tool – the Route Creator. This innovative feature allows users to create and share their own 3D, rideable indoor cycling routes, marking a significant shift in how rider-generated content is integrated into virtual training platforms.
To utilise the Route Creator, users record real-world rides with GPS and upload the videos. ROUVY's proprietary system then reconstructs 3D spatial information from the 2D video, adding avatars, environmental details, signage, gradient shifts, and finish lines. This creates an immersive, interactive cycling experience that blends real-world video with animated 3D objects, allowing the route to be ridden virtually on compatible indoor trainers.
Key features of the Route Creator include:
- Users record GPS-linked video of outdoor cycling routes.
- The app synchronises the GPS data with the recorded video.
- This combined data forms a 3D route simulation enhanced with augmented reality, making it rideable indoors.
- Routes created can then be shared with other users on the platform for virtual riding.
- The tool integrates with the ROUVY ecosystem to blend indoor training with outdoor realism, supporting competitions and workouts on these personalised courses.
This innovation enhances the user experience by allowing cyclists to recreate any outdoor road or trail as an indoor virtual ride that matches the elevation and road profile precisely, thanks to the GPS data connection with the video. The augmented reality layer includes animated 3D objects to increase the feeling of riding outdoors, making training both engaging and realistic.
The updated route discovery process, a new map interface, and an interactive map interface make it easier for users to browse and select routes across the platform's library of more than 1,500 augmented reality rides. With the Route Creator, users can bring their favourite local roads indoors or share routes from remote parts of the world with the broader ROUVY community.
The potential appeal of the Route Creator for performance-focused riders is clear – they can ride a familiar loop mid-winter or recreate an upcoming race course at home. The new features on ROUVY, including the Route Creator, are aimed at giving riders more control over their training environment.
