The Holoseat was inspired by an open source mod project called \u201cExcite Bike,\u201d in which players used a specially modified exercise bike to control movement \u2014 the faster they pedaled, the faster their character moved.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/br><\/p>\n J. Simmons was excited by the idea. Unfortunately, implementation was expensive and limited to racing games, and so J had to build his own (obviously).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/br><\/p>\n The first reliable iteration was buggy, but worked well enough for J to lose 45 pounds playing Star Wars: The Old Republic<\/i> and Portal 2<\/i>. And so it was that J broke the stereotype of the buxom gamer.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/br><\/p>\n J\u2019s gaming partner Bryan Christian then started contributing to the Holoseat. They eventually went on to share it at a convention, promptly enthralling other gamers, who loudly clamored for Holoseats of their own.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/br><\/p>\n Now, the next task in J and Bryan\u2019s mission as Model B is to gather troops that will support them in launching Holoseat as a product, and ultimately, become the heroes that gamers deserve.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/br><\/p>\n
