Lighting system for gamification and improvement of aesthetics of exercise equipment
View Patent ↗A system for gamification and enhancement of aesthetics of exercise equipment, comprising: a control box; a weight rack; and, at least one light attached in or on the weight rack and in operative communication with the control box.
1 . A system for gamification and enhancement of aesthetics of exercise equipment, comprising:
a weight rack, comprising at least two upright components with lighting disposed therein;
a control box disposed in a decorative add-on space, separate from the lighting, and wherein the control box connects the at least two upright components; and,
at least one light attached inside the weight rack and in operative communication with the control box.
2 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one attachment or accessory.
3 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one sensor in operative communication with the control box.
4 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one of a sound emitter, a tactile sensation stimulator, smoke or mist generator, foam sprayer or pyrotechnics.
5 . The system according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one attachment or accessory has disposed therein at least one light attached inside.
6 . A kit for retrofitting exercise equipment comprising at least two upright components of a weight rack, comprising:
a control box disposed in a decorative add-on space, separate from lighting disposed within the at least two upright components, and wherein the control box connects the at least two upright components; and,
at least one light of the lighting attached inside the exercise equipment and in operative communication with the control box.
7 . The kit according to claim 6 , further comprising at least one sensor in operative communication with the control box.
8 . The kit according to claim 6 , further comprising at least one of a sound emitter, a tactile sensation stimulator, smoke or mist generator, foam sprayer or pyrotechnics for attachment to the exercise equipment.
9 . The system according to claim 6 , further comprising at least one light for attachment inside at least one attachment or accessory.
10 . A method of using a system for gamification and enhancement of aesthetics of exercise equipment comprising at least two upright components of a weight rack, comprising:
associating at least one sensor with a measurable indicator of exercise performance;
commencing exercise by a user;
sensing data corresponding to the measurable indicator of exercise performance using the at least one sensor;
transmitting the sensed data to a control box for processing the control box disposed in a decorative add-on space, separate from lighting, and wherein the control box connects the at least two upright components;
processing the sensed data; and,
using the lighting disposed inside the exercise equipment to provide at least one of gamification, biofeedback, safety, and motivation, based on the processing.
11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the lighting is adjusted in at least one of color, intensity, and pattern.
12 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the exercise equipment is at least one of a weight rack, attachment or accessory.
13 . The method according to claim 10 , further comprising using at least one of sound, tactile stimulation, smoke, mist, foam or pyrotechnics to provide gamification and enhancement of aesthetics of the exercise equipment.
14 . A method of using a system for gamification and enhancement of aesthetics of exercise equipment comprising at least two upright components of a weight rack, comprising:
activating lighting located inside the exercise equipment;
optionally adjusting the lighting;
optionally controlling individual lights and/or strips of the lighting;
optionally deactivating the lighting,
wherein at least one of the activating, adjusting, controlling and deactivating are controlled by a control box disposed in a decorative add-on space, separate from the lighting, and wherein the control box connect the at least two upright components.
15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein adjusting comprises adjusting at least one of color, intensity and pattern.
16 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the exercise equipment comprising at least one of a attachment or accessory.
17 . The method according to claim 14 , further comprising using at least one of sound, tactile stimulation, smoke, mist, foam or pyrotechnics to provide gamification and enhancement of aesthetics of the exercise equipment.
