Chairs for the lazy

Imagine being cleaning staff in that office. You accidentally drop something during your night shift. All the chairs start driving themselves across the room at 4 AM while you're completely alone in the building.

"Heart attack" would be an understatement for the reaction I'd have.

Iā€™d be more annoyed at having to plug all that shit in to recharge every night since I doubt there is some complex magnetic drive system under the flooring

I mean, wireless charging is a thing nowadays

wireless charging is not a thing until they make every table auto charging my phone

Shit, I must be plugging my phone in at night and not realizing it then.

If you have that little charging puck connected to a cable thing. Yes. Yes you are plugging in your phone to charge.

Unless wherever you put your phone on at night is charging it without thought, wireless charging is not a thing.

I'm so going to "accidentally" clap my hand in the middle of a meeting

Having seen these in a demo, they have weight triggers to prevent that. Also in or demo, one got stuck on a power cord, the other on a electrical plate in the floor.

Robot chairs, but still using a white board from the 90s

This perfectly describes Japan. The nation of advanced robotics and businesses that still communicate by fax.

? What do you use instead of a whiteboard?

Smartboards are much smaller than most room-sized whiteboards and are infinitely more expensive. Smartboards have certain use cases, but in many situations they don't make sense.

Those things look tiny! I don't know where the idea is going in the first place, and I need lots of space for bad ideas and wrong turns.

Cool as an experiment. Real world use seems limited. Much cheaper to hire an administrative assistant to clean up after each meeting, since the tabletop also needs tidying.

All I can imagine is someone clapping at a presentation.

Then the chairs going crazy like ant panic. (While people ride them) šŸ¤£
