# Treadmill Reading Devices The Run-n-Read Makes It Easier to Read While on the Treadmill By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-04-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runnread References: [technologytell](http://www.technologytell.com/gadgets/141381/run-n-read-is-a-wearable-un-compromise-for-reading-runners/) & [weartrons](http://weartrons.com/) Run-n-Read is a tiny wearable device that makes it easier for you to read while you're [running on the treadmill](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviron-victory-treadmill). Developed by New York-based wearable tech start-up Weartron Labs, the Run-n-Read tracks your body's movements and transmits the information to your e-reader, which then bounces its text up and down to keep it in perfect sync with your eye gaze. When your head bobs up and down as you run, the Run-n-Read makes the e-reader bob its text up and down so that you don't strain your eyes or get a headache from running while reading. The Run-n-Read is equipped with Bluetooth and connects with all standard [iOS and Android tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-reading), eReaders and even smartphones. It is not yet available for purchase, but is expected to hit the market later this year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wearable Reading Devices:** Opportunity for wearable tech companies to create devices that enhance reading experiences. - **Fitness-tech Integration:** Potential for fitness and technology industries to collaborate and create innovative products for exercise enthusiasts. - **Biometric Tracking:** Opportunity to develop devices that track body movements and provide real-time feedback for various activities. ### Where This Applies - **Wearable Technology:** Wearable tech companies can explore the market for innovative reading devices and accessories. - **Fitness Equipment:** Fitness equipment manufacturers can collaborate with technology companies to integrate reading features into treadmills and other exercise machines. - **Mobile Technology:** Mobile device manufacturers can create specialized reading apps and features that sync with wearable reading devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hands-Free Reading Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-sol-reader.md) - [E-Ink Display Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sol-reader.md) - [Immersive Reading Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sol-reader-1.md) - [Mobile Reading Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astropads-new-bookcase.md) - [Fitness Bike Reading Applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peloton-3.md) - [Progressive Interactive Reading Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/online-text-reader.md) - [Tech-Forward Compact Treadmills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-treadmill.md) - [Intelligent Reading Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookread.md) - [Anti-Myopia Reading Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaverlab-farseer-e1.md)
