This page will walk you through the steps to get set up to play games with VirZOOM using your Samsung Gear VR with controller. To do this, you'll register for a VirZOOM account; install our free collection of exercise games, VirZOOM Arcade; and, if you'd like to track your scores and workout progress or interact with other players online, register your VirZOOM device. If you haven't already set up your VZ Bike Controller or VZ Sensor, should go do that step first before you return here. Check out our instructional video, or follow the steps as written below.

  2. Check your email for the confirmation message, and click on the link in it.

  3. Log in with your username and password, and click on "(your name)'s account" in navigation.
