ERGONOMIC CHAIR MADE FROM PAPER SUBSTRATE WITH EMBEDDED SENSOR, COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR INTERACTING WITH THE CHAIR, METHOD OF MAKING THE CHAIR OR OTHER STRUCTURES FROM PAPER SUBSTRATE

摘要

There is provided an ergonomic chair (100) which is produced from flat components. The components may be made of paper. The components are designed using parametric equations which take the targeted user's proportions into account. The components are then folded, joined, and coated with strengthening material. The chair (100) has a seat (103), a base (101), and three legs (102) connecting the seat (103) to the base (101). The base (101) contains a counterweight mass (134) for keeping the chair (100) in a default upright position. The base (101) contains an accelerometer (139) which can transmit data to a computing device (612) to track a user's posture and other health-related data.
