What is Virtual Active?
Virtual Active is a first-person, forward-motion video experience designed to enhance your cardio workout. The programs are designed to be played in front of your treadmill, bike, elliptical, or stepper to give you the feeling you are running, hiking, or cycling through iconic destinations, such as the Grand Canyon and the streets of Venice.


What’s the difference between Guided and Basic workouts?
Virtual Active Guided workouts include helpful instructions from a professional trainer, while the Basic workouts allow you to set your own pace and enjoy the scenery.

More information on the differences of the 7xe displays with VAP vs without..

Virtual Active Programming or VAP is an optional add-on to the 7xe consoles..

If you choose to add it you will have the option on the display that allows you to select a map of about 5-10 and will basically have the display showing you walking up hills or through canyons etc..

Other than that the 7xe displays are pretty much the same... You can follow the link below for an operations manual with further information.
