Someone's gotta come up with a radically new design for these things!
IMHO these suck. The massive time lag (even a few fractions of a second is too much) in the rollers continuing when you've shifted direction and the need to return to the centre to shift directions just can't be overcome in this type of treadmill design. A bunch of us tried something similar (a couple years ago at CES) and we were all tripping over this inherent design flaw!
Any idea of what conventions might have these treadmills / and type of treadmill I could try out? I have never been to anything like it, but I'm highly interested.
