Wont happen, but someone..will record the entire ..an entire path in high definition stereo and upload to a big screen synched to a tread mill.
Imagine the gps tracks coordinated with a treadmill incline and decline...
Harder up hill at the true angle and down

I imagine 2 things if in a gym
Blown minds!

Or blown gaskets from a few goers who dont appreciate a virtual tour of another country...every day for a month
Flight of fancy indeed!

It's not far off. My friend has a treadmill (nordictrack I think) that has real hikes and runs programmed into the app. Video of the real hike/run with auto-adjusts on the incline/decline so it feels like you are there. None yet of the Camino when she checked.

I mean, you can experience shin splints,injuries,pain and suffering from the comforts of home!
Also
Ask/find out/ recreate menus in spain,portions...thirst..wear extra clothes to simulate the meseta
Be drenched in ice water by a sympathetic friend to simulate a winter coastal route!

Kinda takes the magic out of seeing things for the first time though...
