The rover looks somewhat like it is flying over a sea of pinkish-orange clouds. I think if some more detail from the navcam photography could be incorporated into the background environment, it would make for a much more convincing simulation. That would increase the required bandwidth, probably quite a lot, but would make the product much more challenging for both children and adults. If some areas lack coverage, or if the user is allowed to instigate small deviations from the actually-traveled course, the present level of detail could fill in where the navcam data is unavailable. In the limit it could become a really major project - a user-accessible archive rather than a toy.
