Hi Thomas,

I'm sure some virtual reality experiences have their place. A person
might get on a treadmill and put on a V.R. helmet to simulate walking
through the woods, mountains, etc while they walk the treadmill. Its
alright, might help a person pass the time, but I'd prefer going to
the location and walking it in reality than via some V.R. helmet. To
me V.R. still would only be a cheap substitute for the real thing.
While we don't have a Holodeck, we do have,
Zombies, Run
You tie your shoes, put on your headphones, take your first steps outside.
You've barely covered 100 yards when you hear them. They must be close. You
can hear every guttural breath, every rattling groan - they're everywhere.
Zombies. There's only one thing you can do: Run!
You're Runner 5. Hundreds of lives are counting on you. You've got to help
your base rebuild from the ruins of civilization by collecting critical
supplies while avoiding roving zombie hordes. Can you save them and learn
the truth about the zombie apocalypse?
Automatically collect crucial items for your base as you run, plus
artefacts, notes, voice recordings, and more
Use the items you've collected to develop your base and help your surviving
population thrive. With a bigger base comes more missions and some
unexpected surprises.
Running Game & Audio Adventure
Zombies, Run! is an ultra-immersive running game for the iPhone, iPod Touch,
Android and Windows Phone. We deliver the story straight to your headphones
through orders and voice recordings - and back home, you can build and grow
your base with the items you've collected.
Run Anywhere
Zombies, Run! works anywhere and at any speed. You can jog in a park, run
along a beach, or walk along a trail, even on treadmills!
Keep the survivors alive
You automatically collect items like medicine, batteries, and ammo while
running - but when you're back home, who needs them more: the soldiers or
the doctors? Which buildings need extra defenses? It's up to you - and the
bigger your base, the more missions you can play.
Where did the zombies come from? What are the leaders of your base planning?
There's a deeper mystery to be uncovered, puzzles to be solved, websites to
be discovered, documents to be viewed so you can learn the truth of what's
happened to the world.
Choose your own custom playlists before you start running: the story unfolds
in between your tracks through a series of dynamic radio messages and voice
recordings.
With 30 missions and over 40 runs worth of gameplay, you become the hero in
an epic story of humanity's struggle for survival where your running really
matters - and there's a deeper mystery to be uncovered as well.
Better Fitness Through Science
Coming Soon: Zombies, Run! records the distance, time, pace, and calories
burned of all your runs, and we're planning RunKeeper integration. You can
also hear audio notifications for time, distance, and pace during your run.
- Requires iOS 5 or above. Works on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and
iPod Touch 3rd gen and 4th gen.
- Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease
battery life.
- Accelerometer mode can dramatically decrease battery life.
