      Blindfold? I’ve used an Oculus and an Index and finding your balance is very easy. I can’t balance on one leg for more than a couple seconds with my eyes closed but have no problems when watching through the headset. I could see a yoga app being very useful if it allows you to observe the pose without needing to crane your neck.

        well I wouldn’t say great because your mobility is still a bit limited with a headset and it gets hot really fast. But, it’s a great way to gamify exercise and that works for many people

          True, I’m always absolutely drenched working out in VR, but I personally don’t mind. If you really wanna get into it, there are also all kinds of fans and vents that are supposed to keep you cool(er).

          Sure, having actual personal trainers and physically being in a gym without a headset strapped to your face would be preferable. But it’s certainly a lot more engaging and fun than, for example, doing Apples Fitness+ stuff in front of a TV.
