at least two displays for rendering the video content associated with the virtual environment;
at least two lenses, wherein each of the at least two lenses is arranged in front of a respective one of the at least two displays;
a sensor arrangement for sensing a sensor data associated with the head mounted device; and
a transmitter that is operable to transmit the sensor data to the at least one computing device.
3. The system according to claim 2 , further comprising a connector for communicably coupling the at least one computing device to the head mounted device.
4. The system according to claim 3 , further comprising an image splitter for splitting the video content associated with the virtual environment to be rendered by the at least two displays of the head mounted device.
5. The system according to claim 4 , wherein the at least two displays comprise at least one of: a curved display, a thin film display, a LCD display, an LED display, and an OLED display.
6. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the sensor arrangement comprises at least one of: an accelerometer and a gyroscope.
7. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the sensor data comprises at least one of: linear movement of the head mounted device, and rotation of the head mounted device.
8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the metadata comprises at least one of: a distance, a speed, an inclination, and a resistance associated with the virtual environment of the video content.
9. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one setting of the cardiovascular training equipment comprises: a distance setting, a speed setting, an inclination setting, and a resistance setting.
10. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the computing device is at least one of: a smartphone, a wearable device, and a device embedded into the cardiovascular training equipment.
11. A method of fitness training in a virtual environment, the method comprising:
providing a video content associated with the virtual environment by a computing device;
presenting the video content using a head mounted device; and
modifying at least one setting of a cardiovascular training equipment based on a metadata associated with the video content.
12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the head mounted device comprises:
at least two displays for rendering the video content associated with the virtual environment;
at least two lenses, wherein each of the at least two lenses is arranged in front of a respective one of the at least two displays;
a sensor arrangement for sensing a sensor data associated with the head mounted device; and
a transmitter that is operable to transmit the sensor data to the at least one computing device.
13. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising communicably coupling the at least one computing device to the head mounted device using a connector.
14. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising splitting the video content associated with the virtual environment to be provided to the at least two displays of the head mounted device.
15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the at least two displays comprise at least one of: a curved display, a thin film display, a LCD display, an LED display, and an OLED display.
16. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the sensor arrangement comprises at least one of: an accelerometer, and a gyroscope.
17. The method according to a claim 12 , wherein the sensor data comprises at least one of: linear movement of the head mounted device, and rotation of the head mounted device.
18. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the metadata comprises at least one of: a distance, a speed, an inclination, and a resistance associated with the virtual environment of the video content.
