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.

I’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

Roomba style self charging with a queue, lol

[–] dingus 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, wireless charging is a thing nowadays

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Except I’m literally not “plugging in” the phone. I’m placing the phone onto a vertical magnetic surface that uses induction to provide electricity to the phone without wires connecting the charger to the device. That’s wireless.

And, for what it’s worth, because of the joy of magnetic alignment it largely is “without thought.” Though not the way you mean.

Just because your definition of “wireless” somehow seems to mean “charge anywhere on any surface” doesn’t mean wireless charging isn’t a thing. It just means you define it differently.

Sounds like a weird fnaf spin off

Presentation ends

Everyone claps

Chairs push themselves in, cutting everyone in half

[–] mriormro 11 points 1 year ago

Well, the meeting was about cutting expenses.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Final destination type shit lmao

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] punkwalrus 46 points 1 year ago

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.

I wouldn't be mad of they were called Chair-E

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

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

[–] dingus 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

? What do you use instead of a whiteboard?

[–] Num10ck -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] dingus 10 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] hark 12 points 1 year ago

A lot of work went into making this minor convenience.

[–] ElectricCattleman 5 points 1 year ago

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.

Can we put this tech on shopping carts?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

All I can imagine is someone clapping at a presentation.

Then the chairs going crazy like ant panic. (While people ride them) 🤣

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

NOW DO THIS WITH SHOPPING CARTS
