I am just a recreational cyclist but I like using Spinerval DVDs to help stay in shape during the winter. I have close to a dozen and they are mostly from the Competition series. I thought a virtual tour ride would be a good change. Unfortunately I found the use of the Coach Troy Cam very distracting. It would have been fine if it was just a helmet mounted camera. That would allow people to visualize taking a turn at the lead. But when listing to Coach Troy talk about catching his wheel and then they switch to the view with Coach Troy Cam printed across the top of the screen with a red square and a much fuzzier picture it is hard to maintain that visual. And the use of picture in a picture is terrible. It destroys any sense of "virtual reality".
Maybe the format works well for elite athletes. But I would prefer the head camera just be the view without the writing and red boarder. If the transfer from the trailing camera view to the helmet mounted one could be a more gradual transition, you could visualize taking the lead. And coach should never talk about catching his wheel when the helmet mounted camera view is being used. It loses something when there is no wheel to catch! And I found picture in a picture view very distracting.
