    Tokyo Jogging is the name of a cool idea Ryo Katsuma, a renowned Japanese software engineer, single-handedly turned into reality in his spare time. Katsuma-san’s project is a mashup of Wii technology and Google Street View. Users can “run” through Tokyo by using a Wiimote (plugged into a PC) and with Tokyo on Google Street View as a background.

    This is an awesome idea and you can watch a tuturial video on how to install and run the application here (subbed in English).
