Cross-trainer with the OR

Hi Rifters,
i just wanted to share my idea/project i am currently working on with you. As many of you i am still waiting for my devkit (Germany Order ~ 8000) but i recently got a cross-trainer with a serialport and a razor hydra. I wrote a little program in C# to control (and read the data of it) the cross-trainer. My idea is to make a virtual track in Unity and use the razor hydra for positional headtracking and tracking one of the hands. With this it should be possible to ski or drive on an elliptic bike (see picture below) in a virtual world which might be really cool :) . You could for example change the power of the cross-trainer when the terrain changes (uphill/downhill) or when you leave the track.
Only problem is that i am good in C# but not really familiar with Unity or modeling. I tried it a little bit in the last days and i hope this will be fine after spending some time with it. Maybe there are allready some models of elliptic bikes out there which i could use?
Would be nice to know if someone else is also working on something like this and i am looking forward to get some ideas / criticism from you guys.
(And sorry for the bad english and the crappy picture below... its google image search + paint.net ;D )
