Città della Scienza
Napoli, Italy

In this exhibition a visitor can get on a bike, equipped with an ergometer while the others watch. The visitor can pedal through abstract scenarios that are a composition of organic elements such as arteries, blood vessels, skin, etc.
Heart rate meters placed on the handlebars detect its pulsations and transmit amplified acoustic signals; on the bike there is also a temperature sensor.
The data collected by the sensors are returned to the big screen within the scenarios in which the visitor "moves". The visitor can go through different scenarios the transition from one scenario to another is complicated by the use of different pedal force commitments that give feedback on the power consumed. Thanks to the ergometer on the bike you can consult information on the amount of calories burned.
