Biking in place through Google StreetView

Bako.ca | Biking in place through Google StreetView: "More usefully described, this project uses a head-mounted-display that has sensors for detection of orientation so that the user can be placed into a Google StreetView scene and can look around freely. For movement through the map, an exercise bike used to estimate forward movement using a simple reed switch that counts the number of revolutions of the wheel."
