Zwift's Core Technology and User Experience:
The reality of Zwift is made possible by the advanced synchronization of hardware and software in the virtual cycling platform. Cyclists use smart trainers that interface with the Zwift application. These trainers can change their resistance according to the virtual terrain and as a result of climbing and steep downhills. Zwift currently has a list of virtual spaces and many of them are imaginary places such as Watopia while others can be said to depict real-life places in real life. Thus, such a variety addresses everyone’s needs when it comes to cycling and approach to the training process. However, it is crucial to understand that Zwift does not only overlay training, but it creates a cycling community. It allows cyclists from around the world to socialize, contribute to group rides, race, or travel through virtual space. This social interaction element helps to contribute to a more enriching overall sensory experience in a class that is perceived as purely cardiovascular in nature.
