I use this when I prep for business travel, especially outside the USA. I've used this approach to "google walk the streets" of Paris, Stockholm, Frankfurt, Seoul, Tokyo, Melbourne, and Moscow. It's amazingly helpful and I have yet to be sent anywhere in the world that wasn't google walkable. Now ... if they would just add a option of seemlessly flowing the images ...

I can hardly wait until Google comes out with a feature that allows you to view your Google Street View route just like a video and then we can just pan around 360 degrees as the video places forward automatically.

I believe someone actually created a steering wheel and has peddle based control for Google Maps that drives around this little virtual monster truck and can also go first-person into Street View. It was WAY less hacky than this rig, but I have to give this Demo Slam props for using projectors for the immerse experience instead of just a flat-screen monitor. It's fun to push the boundaries of VR "simulacrum" as one comment here so eloquently put it.

@Mystikan, if we all thought the way you did, then yes we would stay inside to play virtual reality. In fact, a lot of people do. Instead of overcoming fears, be they personal or otherwise, we'd rather stay inside and be victorious living life through a Sim rather than attempting to be victorious in life. I currently walk outside often due to no car. I meet interesting people, and I exercise more. So far, no arrests for me. Don't pass through Arizona if you're concerned about it.

Google street view is awesome. I have the ifit Live, which combines a treadmill workout with Google street view maps. You map out the route you want on Google maps, say around the canals in Amsterdam or the streets of Paris, the map is sent to your treadmill and your computer. You watch the streetview change as you walk on the treadmill. The incline of the treadmill changes with the terrain. It's awesome. I've walked all over Europe from my basement in New England. Makes workouts interesting.
