Abstract
The invention relates to a passageway having a virtual reality environment through which person can travel. The passageway according to the invention has an elongated pathway with curved sections and opposed sidewalls, the sidewalls being formed of a material adapted to receive a projected image, and image-projectors associated with specific portions of each sidewall for projecting a different image on each sidewall portion. The images projected on adjacent portions form a continuous panorama from an entrance end of the passageway to an exit end thereof. At least sections of the images are visible to a person travelling through the passageway when looking forward along a longitudinal axis of the pathway. Persons travelling through the passageway on foot or roller-blades or by bicycle can benefit from exercise while enjoying a scenic panorama, in a virtual reality environment.
