"Design Academy" in the industrial city of Eindhoven in the south of the Netherlands. This is a design school that leads the world in product design. Govert Flint of the "Design Academy" developed the "Bionic Chair", a chair that can control the mouse cursor of a PC in his graduation work.


Govert Flint notes that when humans do desk work, only a few organs, such as fingertips and eyes, are used. I thought about making the "Bionic Chair" because I thought that my legs and whole body should also participate in productive work.

In "Bionic Chair", if you move your body left or right, the cursor on the PC screen will also move left or right. If you move your body back and forth, the cursor will move up and down. By kicking in the air with your foot, you can click where the cursor is.


At the moment, you can only move the cursor and click on the "Bionic Chair". But in the future, Govert Flint says he wants to be able to control everything on the PC. If this happens, the office could be transformed into a fun (?) Place with lots of people moving their bodies back and forth, left and right, and fluttering their hands in front of the monitor.
