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?
