Where did the idea for Ski Fit 365 come from?

Ski Fit 365 has been developed by British Olympic skier Tim Dudgeon and Playko Game Designer, Yinch. The first iteration came in the form of the Woodway Carver Treadmill developed through this collaboration of practical ski knowledge and innovative technology. When everyday life ground to a halt in 2020, it sparked the thought process for how the latest Virtual Reality technology could bring skiing straight to you.

Once the premise for Ski Fit 365 had formed, the first stage in development began. With fitness in mind, an early version of the game used a BOSU ball for the player to stand on however, due to its difficulty, it was quickly set aside in favour of developing leg tracking software. This sets Ski Fit 365 apart from other VR games on the market.

Creating a life-like ski experience was at the forefront of the development for Ski Fit 365. Tim’s knowledge and experience was a valuable tool in developing the authenticity of the game. In collaboration with Yinch, the team created a truly unique gaming experience centered around immersing the player in a virtual ski resort.

Accessibility was an important feature in the development of Ski Fit 365. This was achieved using the latest Web XR technology. Web XR brings virtual reality to web browsers, making it easily accessible to play. Tapping into the power of the web from your VR headset, you simply follow the link, and you will be immediately immersed in our life-like ski resort.

Why is it called Ski Fit 365?

  • Ski – Well, it is exactly what it says on the tin!
  • Fit – Ski Fit 365 as an immersive VR experience, has realistic life-like demands on your body, just like real life skiing. The unique combination of fitness and skiing allows you to enjoy the unique gameplay and get a great workout at the same time.

Do I need an account to play Ski Fit 365?

  • No! To play Ski Fit 365, it is as simple as can be. You simply put the headset on and play.
  • If you’re quick enough for a spot on the leaderboard, it will ask for a name to display. Just type your name in (or nickname), and it will show up there for the rest of the day unless someone beats your time, of course!
  • You are required to log into your Facebook account in your Oculus headset though.
