Prop Cycle hit the arcades in 1996 and mastered hardware/software integration for this concept.

I never understood why it didn't have other software releases for the platform.
What Playpulse seems to be doing here is integrating the entertainment and the exercise, to the point where your pedal speed affects variables in-game, and in-game feedback changes your pedal resistance. Personally, I'm happy to just watch YouTube while working out, but I can see how gamifying your spin session could make it more engaging.
