People are advised to go to a dentist at least once a year. I don’t know about the others, but I always tend to forget about this advice. Anyway, there might be a solution. Instead of going to a dentist once in a while, I could be using ErgoMotion’s new Workstation chair. OK, so it won’t help with my teeth but at least it looks like some dentist chair.
Apart from that “uncomfortable”-looking chair, the Phase 1 Workstation chair should be pretty ergonomic. It features an industrial rack-mounted PC, twin 19-inch monitors on a custom, speaker-studded retractable arm, VoIP and fully adjustable chair with memory presets. The chair is still in prototype stage, so it might not look like a dentist chair when finalized. The ErgoMotion team seems to be really concerned about making long-term computer use compatible with the requirements of both our craving and health.
Being inspired by those pesky dentist chairs, the Workstation model has the armrests, headrest, seat depth (knee to hip) and calf support fully adjustable. In addition, there are inflatable lumbar and headrest bladders to tailor the fit. The calf support pad will even provide some soothing massage options, to avoid DVT.
Slashgear points out that, with its twelve square feet of floor space, this chair is quite unlikely to be found in many people’s back-bedroom home office. Plus, if the design remains the same for the commercial version, some people might totally avoid it because it reminds them of those pesky dentists.

When you look at all the appliances commercialized today, they all tend to have something in common: they all claim to be smart devices. Soon we’ll have computer-controlled washing machines, fridges, microwave or simple ovens, bathtubs and so on, everything will feature some sort of chip that will enable s to control from afar. What’s next? Smart beds that prepare themselves so that you can have a comfortable sleep? How about some smart chairs that can be moved wirelessly? Well now, I don’t about that wireless movement, but it looks like someone did come up with a design for a smart chair.
The concept is dubbed Smartchair Biofeedback Computer Chair. It still looks like a chair, but it also has something futuristic about it. It features dozens of embedded sensors, an adjustable seating pad, backpad and headrest that will adjust themselves accordingly based on your movements to provide you with the most comfortable seating experience possible. Moreover it comes with a touchscreen control unit that lets you operate the chair manually in case you want total control over this advanced chair design. I wonder if it will come complete with some sort of massage system that will further improve comfort. And how about some wheels so we can storm the offices or our house in adrenaline-filled races?
