The Design Academy is located in Eindhoven, an industrial city in the southern part of the Netherlands. It is a design school that leads the world in product design. For his graduation project, Mr. Govert Flint of the Design Academy developed the "Bionic Chair," a chair that can control the mouse cursor on a PC.


Mr. Govert Flint noticed that when people work at a desk, only a few organs are utilized, such as the fingertips and eyes. He decided to create the "Bionic Chair" because he believed that the legs and the entire body should also be involved in productive work.

With the "Bionic Chair," if you move your body left or right, the cursor on the PC screen also moves left or right. If you move your body back and forth, the cursor moves up and down. By kicking the air with your foot, you can click on the cursor's position.


At present, the Bionic Chair can only move and click the cursor. But in the future, Govert Flint says, he would like to be able to control everything on the PC. If this becomes a reality, the office could be transformed into a fun (?) place full of people moving their bodies back and forth, left and right, and fluttering their hands in front of the monitor.
