Do any of you incorporate the VR goggles into home trainers, and if so where should I start my search online? Thanks.

Interesting idea. I have never used them, but wonder if sweat might not be a pretty big issue if used when training.

This is something I've put some thought into since I do computer graphics for a living. I've never tried running with VR goggles on because they'd probably bounce around a lot, and it would only be a matter of time (roughly 30 seconds) before crashing on my arse... It would be a lot more sensible to ride on a trainer than run on a treadmill, but then yea you've got the sweat issue. My idea was to create virtual 3d worlds that would be more interesting/surreal than anywhere you could run or ride in real life. There are apps that simulate running in a VR environment although I'm not sure you can hook them up to VR goggles, it might just be something you put on your ipad and set down on the treadmill stand. The more popular goggles that my friends at work use and develop stuff on are called the HTC vive. Take a look and see if there's some kind of running simulator for it.
