Similar to existing VR rhythm games such as Beat Saber, Supernatural has you destroying waves of monochromatic targets to the beat of a motivational soundtrack. WITHIN’s fitness-focused experience takes this concept several steps further, offering real-time coaching, a regular stream of daily workout regiments, progress tracking, a dedicated smartphone app, and numerous other health-related features.
Getting started is fairly painless: simply download the Supernatural app on your Oculus Quest headset and pair it with the dedicated smartphone app available on both iOS and Android. Upon opening the app you’ll be instructed to pair the app with any heart-monitoring wearable devices you may have, such as the Apple Watch, via Bluetooth. From here, you can begin entering some personal information; weight, level of physical activity, fitness goals, etc.
