I've considered a single point balancing device. You couldn't use only one wheel, you'd need a sphere to balance on. You'd need to come up with a fancy turning mechanism or program because leaning like on the segway will only provide motion in that direction, not spin the rider around.

Actually there are quite a few designs to building a monowheel robot. One design involves contructing a giant wheel and then balancing the person inside the wheel. To move the wheel all you would need to do is shift the devices weight like a mouse in its little wheel.
