For any devout yogis out there that also dabble in product development on the side, this one’s for you. A concept created by Hui-Zong Chen describes a snazzy yoga mat that not only allows you to relax your inner being and place yourself in all sorts of awkward positions, but also enables you to partake in yoga class remotely thanks to the built-in display. Moreover, the tube / mat case packs a set of speakers and a flash-based music player, and we can only assume that a WiFi antenna is in there somewhere for those interested in streaming video classes to the head of the mat. Of course, we’re not exactly sure how much “meditation” could actually ensue with all these enticing distractions around, but it’s a novel idea regardless.

Though there’s been plenty of inventions that help brain-injured individuals regain a somewhat normal gait, a split-belt treadmill that oftentimes “pushes people into sloppy versions of Michael Jackson’s moonwalk” is certainly one of the most bizarre. The device enables one foot to move up to four times faster than the other or throw one leg into reverse whilst the other moves forward, essentially forcing one’s brain to make an “unconscious adjustment” in order to keep him / her from falling down. The goal, now, however, is to figure out how to make the temporary fixes instituted by the moonwalk machine permanent — without forcing the disabled to live out their lives with Thriller running through their headphones.
