    Wow, I thought I had a nice office chair. I don't get out of this chair as it is. I would never get out of that thing.

      Wow! Isn't that something else.

      Now, if you can only program it to do some housework too, then I'd pay the 40k. LOL

      I swear...

      Technology is going to take over all civilization soon...

      One day the only two existing species will be machines and cyborg's.

      That thing reminds me of a contraption that I saw in Wall-E

      Talk about convenience and comfort on steroids...

      That thing would have me hemmed up in the house losing
      skin color (due to lack of sun) more than my computer...

      But, I have to admit, it's pretty damn cool.

    Looks a bit claustrophobic to me.

    Another issue I would have would be the ambient acoustics; curved surfaces overhead distort your directional perception of sound, sometimes quite significantly.

      My wife has been suffering from carpel tunnel recently, I wonder if the ergonomical design will help. I think I'll pick one up, after all it's only $40k.

      If she doesn't like it I'll drive it down the the Goodwill drop off trailer down the street. I'm sure someone would be able to use it.

        For $40K, that thing should do happy endings...

            It looks kinda scary to me. I dont think I'd get any work done.

            Plus, I'd miss my 20 year old, one wheel-missing, duct-taped chair I have now.

      That's a little scary actually...Do the math:

      A Top-Level Graphics designer or programmer is good for 120-150K nowdays at one of the big agencies.

      The computer and monitor system that's in that thing is worth 6-7K in the mac version alone.

      A high-end cubicle setup with shelves, lighting, chair, etc. is about the same installed.

      Now you're at 12K- and we haven't even started talking about productivity...

      If your 120K designer or programmer wastes 25% of their time out of the cube at the coffee machine or water cooler, that's 30,000.

      What if the "boss" made these mandatory? People would probably say "Wow- how COOL", and turn into some kind of "Matrix" folk...

      This thing could pay for itself in under a year in that scenario, and I'm sure the usable life is 5 or better- probably more like ten.

      You'd have to pony up for software upgrades, etc., but you'd have to do that anyways.

      Personally, pretty as it is I wouldn't want to be trapped in it for 10 hours a day by some jag-off bean counting boss...That's what's scary.

      But yeah, I'd love one for MY house

        Lawd! At 325 lb, you'll have to build a new house around that thing. You'll need a front-end loader to put in in place.

        Beam me up, Scotty!
