A Virtual Tour of Tokyo Using a Wii & Google Maps

Take a virtual tour of Tokyo using a Wii & Google Maps

Check out this new mashup by Japanese coder Ryo Katsuma. It takes the exercising aspect of the Wii and combines it with virtual tourism, by using Google Maps with the Wii Remote to create a virtual jogging or walking experience. The crazy mashup takes you on a tour through a good bit of Tokyo, but what’s cool about it is that it could easily be applied to any city you want covered by Google Maps, letting you be a Wii world traveler. If you want to build one yourself, you can find out how over at Tokyo-jogging.
