If you want to try the immersive sound experience of Soundwalks when you next feel like transporting yourself on your home walking pad (or at the treadmill on the gym) see The Weekend Walk Show. Subscription is free or includes paid extras for exclusive new podcast walks.

Soundwalks

Soundwalks can take you to Switzerland or Japan, depending on your mood.

The Weekend Walk Show recently featured a story on immersive virtual walking in Bern, Switzerland.

What’s great about Soundwalks is that you can pick them up free on YouTube and watch and listen as you walk – even in a crowded gym.

Wide camera angles and camera movement that keeps pace with a real walker, matches your own stride. The stunning cobblestones and historic buildings of Bern are rolled out in front of you, as you work out at the gym or home.
