Yoga mat concept design plays music, streams video

If it ever becomes a reality, designer Hui-Zong Chen's conceptual Yoga mat could bring the Yoga experience onto the bleeding edge of technology. This Yoga mat concept features a mat that unfurls from a metal tube that can act as a stereo. Users can pop a memory card into the tube to play mp3s. The tube can also play content off of a standard mp3 player.

The concept's pièce de résistance is the mat itself. It's made of an electronic paper screen that can play streaming video, allowing users to have their Yoga classes streamed onto the mat itself. Users can also use the mat for video conferencing so they can still "attend" their Yoga classes with their friends.

As Yanko Design points out, the technologies needed for this Yoga mat concept design already exist in one form or another, so it's just a question of when someone puts them all together to make the design a reality. If it ever hits the market, we expect a lot of professionals to keep one stashed in their cars.
