One thing going slightly viral lately is footage of Disney’s “HoloTile” infinite floor, an experimental sort of 360° treadmill developed by [Lanny Smoot]. But how exactly does it …
That was just an example—it might also be a problem for shoes with heels, or textured soles, or people with feet too small to cover enough disks at once.
Seems like it would only work for objects with large, flat bottoms—if you tried to use it barefoot it would likely rip your toes off.
This is just a crude early version. Eventually the tiles will be significantly smaller, quieter, and less prone to ripping toes off.
But the Toe-ripping is a major selling point!
Do you have any idea how much it’ll cost to reprint all those pamphlets?
Why would you try to use it barefoot??

What about handstands? Crab walking? Naked lying down? What other useless ways of using this can we come up with and “show concern” about?
