I just thought of this... I've seen ads in those catalogues you find in the seat pocket of airplanes for these glasses that you put on and it plays videos and movies and the like on the lenses of the glasses (although I don't know if you can actually see through them, they just play up on how you can watch movies and the like through these glasses) and I got thinking... if technology advances to the point where it can create a setting that allows for you to move around freely in a virtual environment, they should probably start with running/jogging trails to give to people who like to work out on either the track, treadmills, or ellipticals. Imagine running on a treadmill, but seeing yourself running along your favorite park trail that you couldn't go on today because it's raining, or icy, or whatever.
Or maybe running the streets of a foreign city that you've never been to and may never get a chance to go to.
Or maybe the streets of a city in a fantasy world like Lord of the Rings, or Narnia, or what have you.
Or, if you're technologically savvy, a world you create yourself!
That would be cool.
