This may make stationary bike exercise more enticing - cycle any route you want, anywhere in the world! The entire environment is rendered while you ride it, just ahead of you. You can even ride with and talk to other users who happen to be on the same route at the same time, who will appear as avatars. Your trainer can even interact with your computer so that when there's a climb or descent in the video, the trainer will respond by increasing or decreasing the amount of resistance you encounter. With the latest release, you can even experience real time weather without the inconvenience of getting wet. The article doesn't say whether head winds (or more desirably, tail winds) are simulated.:
