Beat running accessory concept

If you’re an athlete at heart and feel free whenever you run around, then chances are quite good that you would have a portable media player of sorts to keep you company. After all, having a rhythm to the entire run is essential if you’re racing against (your) time, and there is nothing quite like your favorite track to whip your legs into shape. There has been some collaboration between Nike and Apple in the past, but let us take a back seat this time round and check out a conceptual device like the Beat running accessory.

Touted to be the ultimate among them all, this all-in-one running accessory is a gesture controlled device (no doubt influenced by the popularity and effectiveness of the Wii and Kinect) that will play your music, check out your current heart rate, and count your strides without missing a beat. 

Relying on an innovative gesture interface which will integrates seamlessly into the running experience, you no longer have to grapple with sweaty fingers or touchscreen displays – just a simple flick your hand will do! Now, if only it can make the jump from concept to the real deal.
