Here's your fun event on Saturday: watch the treadmill turn into a PS4 controller so creators can practice playing Dead Strand.
Electrical engineer Allen Pan decided that he would need to exercise one day, so he thought of turning an old treadmill into a PlayStation 4 controller. He succeeded.
Although he still had to use the right stick on the controller to turn the camera, the left stick was removed and connected to the treadmill to control walking and running. That's a short version, but the video covers engineering from connecting relays to connecting controllers. I'm not an engineer, so let me explain in the video.
When finished, he played Death stranded Using his new controller and taking into account all the walking you do in the game, he gets a good workout. Pan even invited his friends to try his invention, and they sweated in a minute.
You should visit Pan's YouTube channel and learn about some other crazy things he has come up with.
