I wonder if Wii could partner up with Google Earth and create a stationary bike game that would be both fun and educational. The idea is that Google Earth could create a biciycle tour of beautiful/historic/interesting places on Earth -- for example a Seine River tour of Paris, or a tour of a national park in the U.S. or a coastline tour of western Ireland. Wii could couple this to a stationary bike and the player could go "forward" into the landscape as fast or as slowly as they liked, and even perhaps pause to admire a particularly scenic view, maybe by rotating their head, wearing some sort of device that would move the view depending which way they looked. This Wii application would be wonderful for people who need exercise, and who would never be able to see such beautiful places. Let's include some exotic ones -- e.g. a bike tour down the Florida Keys, a tour of Bali, Australia, India, and so forth. What do you think?
