Virtuix Omni Treadmill – With the announcement of Sony’s Project Morpheus and Facebook’s acquisition of Oculus Rift, the world of 3D gaming is months away. Complementing your journey into the virtual world is the Virtuix Omni Treadmill. This big concave device doesn’t really move like a typical treadmill would – what it does do is stimulate walking with a special slick surface that works with a pair of fabric shoes. The soles of the shoes essentially slips off the surface to mimic a stepping motion. You can’t actually run, but its the closest thing to getting a gamer to exercise.

An American Odyssey – Pretty pictures accompanied by a little history lesson is the best way to describe Taschen’s latest book An American Odyssey. The large coffee table book is a collection of photochroms and Phostint postcards from the private collection of Marc Walter. Some of the postcards were originally in black and white, but were specially re-produced by the Detroit Photographic Company in color. The pictures show the vast size and the long history across the United States: from the ethnic boroughs of New York to the saloons of the wild west.
