How does the Run-n-Read device works?
It tracks a user's head and eye movements while running and then moves eBook text in real-time to mirror those movements. Weartrons Labs is a company that's developed an iOS and Android-compatible device called Run-n-Read.

The result creates an illusion where the text stays steady, thus allowing runners to run and read simultaneously without any eyestrain or fatigue. Users can also tap the device to move between pages in an eBook.
