comprises a planar first surface type mirror and the second mirror comprises a convex first surface type mirror. 2

5. The activity station system of claim 4, wherein the curvature of the second mirror is selected as one that causes the projected image received at the surface thereof to be reflected onto the whole of an image surface of the curved screen. 6. The activity station system of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the image projector is mounted below the curved screen and/or located behind a front edge of the curved screen.

7. The activity station system of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the curved screen is positioned relative to the activity device such that parts of the image projected on the screen fall within the peripheral vision of a user operating or interacting with the activity device.

8. The activity station system of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the activity device comprises a cardio- vascular exercise apparatus.

9. The activity station system of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the curved screen comprises any of: a dome; a spherical dome; or a hemispherical dome. 10. The activity station system of any one of the proceeding claims, wherein an image surface of the inwardly curved screen comprises a first mirror type surface and said image surface has a protective coating applied thereto.

1 1. The activity station system of claim 10, wherein the protective coating is a human sweat resistant coating.

12. The activity station system of claim 10 or claim 1 1, wherein the protective coating is a physical vapour deposition (PVD) coating having a thickness of between 0.2 micrometers and 2 micrometers.

13. The activity station system of any one of the preceding claims, wherein an image surface of the curved screen has a width or diameter less than or equal to one meter and preferably has a width or diameter less than or equal to one 94 centimeters. 3

14. An image projection system comprising:

an inwardly curved screen; and

means for projecting an image onto the inwardly curved screen;

wherein the image projection means comprises:

an image projector located adjacent said curved screen and arranged to project an image in a first direction opposite to a second direction in which the inwardly curved screen faces; and

a mirror system defining an image projection pathway for reflecting said projected image along said image projection pathway onto said curved screen,

wherein the image projection means does not extend beyond the depth of the screen.

15. The image projection system of claim 14, wherein the mirror system comprises: a first mirror for reflecting the image projected in said first direction back along a part of the image projection pathway extending in said second direction; and

a second mirror for reflecting the image projected along the second direction part of the image projection pathway in the first direction onto the curved screen. 16. The image projection system of claim 15, wherein the image projection pathway includes an aperture in a part of the screen, said aperture lying in the second direction part of the image projection pathway between the first mirror and the second mirror.

17. The image projection system of claim 15 or claim 16, wherein the first mirror comprises a planar first surface type mirror and the second mirror comprises a convex first surface type mirror.

18. The image projection system of claim 17, wherein the curvature of the second mirror is selected as one that causes the projected image received at the surface thereof to be reflected onto the whole of an image surface of the curved screen. 4

19. The image projection system of any one of claims 14 to 18. wherein the image projector is mounted below the curved screen and/or located behind a front edge of the curved screen. 20. The image projection system of any one of claims 1 to 19, wherein the curved screen comprises any of: a dome; a spherical dome; or a hemispherical dome.

21. The image projection system of any one of the proceeding claims, wherein an image surface of the inwardly curved screen comprises a first mirror type surface and said image surface has a protective coating applied thereto.

22. The image projection system of claim 21 , wherein the protective coating is a physical vapour deposition (PVD) coating having a thickness of between 0.2 micrometers and 2 micrometers.

23. The image projection system of any one of claims 14 to 22, wherein an image surface of the curved screen has a width or diameter less than or equal to one meter and preferably has a width or diameter less than or equal to one 94 centimeters. 24 The image projection system of any one of claims 14 to 23, wherein said projection system is any of: free-standing; mountable on a stand; mountable on a wall; or mountable onto an activity device.

25. An exercise system comprising:

an exercise apparatus;

an inwardly curved screen onto which an image is projected, said curved screen being positioned relative to the exercise apparatus such that a user operating or interacting with the exercise apparatus can view the image being projected onto the screen; and means for projecting an image onto the inwardly curved screen;

wherein a size of the image projection means is not larger than the width and/or depth of the screen and

wherein the image projection means does not extend beyond the depth of the screen. 5

27. The exercise system of claim 26, wherein the screen is not wider than the exercise apparatus. 28. The exercise system of claim 26 or claim 27, wherein an image surface of the curved screen has a width or diameter less than or equal to one meter and preferably has a width or diameter less than or equal to one 94 centimeters.

29. An exercise system comprising:
