Sam the Starman owned a very normal sort of treadmill. Every now and then he would use it for a bit of exercise — walking perhaps, or running, or maybe walking, or maybe running.
He also owned some pretty good virtual reality products, that allowed him to pair his treadmill to his video games, immersing him as he ran through the various worlds of warcraft.
But this was not enough for Sam. He dreamt of something more — a richer, deeper experience of the journey through his real and virtual worlds.
And as he dreamt, lo and behold, the ground beneath him changed!
His treadmill was now a brand new Terrmill (Terrain-adaptable-treadmill), a revolutionary new surface that changed according to his in-game terrain, so he could run up mountains or fall into ravines as his avatar did. His exercise routines now turned into riveting obstacle courses, which he could even program into his very own skatepark.
And Sam was never sad again.
