"voyager" a smart treadmill
The novel concept makes the carpet meant for more fun race. The treadmills are certainly convenient; they have not had a real revolution both in their level design features. Therefore, the designer Yoon Il-Seop imagined a futuristic version of the device used in most gyms. The concept is part of devices called "smart." Called Voyager, it is present in an avant-garde installation and quite cumbersome. In fact, the treadmill has a larger display and an interactive system. By offering a more immersive racing experience, the user is able to move in different places without setting foot outside. Three modes are then proposed: travel, sports and games. The first allows you to venture into the streets of a selected area while the second allows running with other people on the same track. The latter method promises an entertaining experience incorporating the runner in the game through his avatar. Can be synchronized with a Smartphone, it includes a number of programs and settings to adjust according to the difficulty of the training. Unfortunately, traveling is reduced to its concept stage. Nothing has been added more about this project so far.
