Run away from zombies in Race Yourself for the upcoming Google Glass

Google's augmented reality specs Google Glass should be available to consumers later this year.

One game, or rather virtual exercise app, that you'll be able to use with Google Glass is Race Yourself.

Race Yourself may not sound all that fun at first. With it, you see, you can record your personal bests when jogging, race against your friends' best times, and monitor the number of calories you've burned.

Handy, perhaps, but not that much fun.

The developer of Race Yourself has recognised, though, that it could make the app much more appealing to the mainstream.

So, yes, how about some zombies chasing you while you're running? You'll even be able play a Pac-Man-esque game to spice up your exercise session.

Race Yourself will also feature some other rather amusing games.

One involves running away from a train that travels at your target pace. If you're partial to a bit of skydiving, meanwhile, then you can fly through hoops while in the air. Keen cyclists can take part in a virtual Tour de France, too.

Race Yourself won't be available until Google Glass is, of course. You can pre-order the app on the official website, mind.
