I really want to try this! I want to try it with an elliptical. I currently have a little TV in front of it, do you think a projector would be more immersive

  If your goal is to create a more immersive experience to encourage yourself to run more, I'd really suggest plotting an outdoor course[1] and trying to run the whole thing. I found nothing motivates me more than that: you always have a set goal and destination in mind, your scenery's always changing, you're outside!, and you can keep tabs on how well you feel past certain landmarks and watch yourself improve over time.

    Very good point. I was loving running outdoors but then my knees started bothering me :-(

  It's not necessary if you're going to get up to a constant speed and don't plan on stopping much, or if you're playing a game that lets you effectively brake while you're giving gas. I couldn't comment on which games are good about this, I haven't tried.

  And re: the projector, I don't think it matters. You get hooked into the game and pedal in that gaming, goal oriented fashion. The wow-cool factor of a project won't change that, I think. The only serious considering is distance from TV, lots of racing games require you to see small elements on the screen clearly, and many exercise bikes are placed in the back of the room.
