Happy New Year! 🥳 We're ringing in #2023 with a focus on #fitness. Follow us to learn some little-known facts about workout innovations. Today, we're kicking off the conversation by introducing the world's first #treadmill patent. How the treadmill started... In 1911, innovator Claude Lauraine Hagen filed a #patent in the US for a "training machine" featuring a treadmill belt. This forward-thinking patent, approved in 1913, was surprisingly detailed for its time. It detailed a foldable machine that would allow for more accessible transportation. Hagen even accounted for users of varying heights by including movable side rails. He also tried to reduce the noise the machine would make by attaching four outer posts to raise the belt off the ground — this also allowed the incline to be adjusted. Although we aren't sure if Hagen eventually turned this design into a working #prototype, it's a patent that's still regularly cited in patent designs for treadmills.

Virtual reality, or #VR for short, is a life-like, computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment. Participants can interact with these environments using specialized electronic equipment such as headgear or glasses. In this video, we explore 5 VR innovation trends augmenting the future and the impact of each:
Global carbon dioxide emissions from energy generation increased by 6% last year to 36.3 billion tonnes. In conjunction with these emissions, and those from other industries, the UN issued a stern warning in its latest climate report: if we don’t act now, we won’t be able to limit global warming. This has us wondering — are #perovskite solar cells a #sustainable energy solution? Read more to find out:
