Does anyone know if such a thing is on the market?

Several years ago (about 15+) I was at a cycle show and seen a set up that used a road bike on rollers linked to a computer and screen, this let the cyclist watch where they were going and the rollers adjusted the risitance depending on gradiant - you could link in another to do races.

Been using my turbo trainer over winter and finding it really boring, so would like to upgrade to something like this.

Cheers for the input. Thanks to the links I now know I should be looking for a virtual reality turbo trainer.

The tacx I-magic looks like the type of thing I'm after :-) I see you can get dvd's with footage of roads that tell you what setting to manually put your turbo trainer on, depending on the gradient infront of you - but I don't think that'll be real enough, although a cheap option!!
