MyWhoosh

An indoor cycling platform built in Unreal, where real smart bikes drive the game. The connection between the hardware and the simulation is a native BLE plugin.

The challenge

A smart trainer speaks Bluetooth Low Energy, not Unreal. Getting live resistance and cadence data out of physical hardware, into a running simulation, and onto a readable UI across Windows, iOS and Android, is a native integration problem before it is a gameplay one.

What I did

Created Unreal plugins for BLE smart bike connectivity.
Visualised trainer data coming off the hardware.
Developed immersive gameplay and UI for the app.
Coordinated deployment across Windows, iOS and Android.

MyWhoosh is a published indoor cycling product; this work covers the BLE integration, gameplay and UI.
