Abstract
In this article we present the results of an experiment where participants were asked to bike with selected soundscapes to measure their preferred pace and perception of the several aspects of the soundscapes. The results show that indeed different soundscapes can manipulate preferred pace of a biking person. This experiment is the first step into designing a system for rhythmic rehabilitation based on a stationary bike augmented in an audio reality. A concept of the system is as well presented. The specific sensors will be used to monitor users’ pace and heart rate while exercising and manipulate audio feedback and cues. Simple technology solutions will allow for the system to be used by the wide range of users. The innovation is to use as a feedback and cues ecological sounds, which has power to manipulate a bikers’ pace and give a more natural experience.
