One of the advantages of being in the forefront of technological development is that in the course of this pursuit, a company can create something that isn’t in its list of priorities. That seems to have been the case over there at Nissan after the company announced the “Intelligent Parking Chair,” a concept it conceived through its development of intelligent park assist technology.
The idea behind the Intelligent Parking Chair is similar to how drivers can easily park their vehicles through automatic steering. But, instead of that setting, this tech can be used in an office environment. Imagine a chair automatically moving to a set position without any kind of force acting on it. That’s the gist of this new tech developed by Nissan, and it’s one that could prove to be mighty useful in offices all over the world.
So how does the Intelligent Parking Chair work exactly? According to Nissan, the chair works in concert with cameras placed on a room’s ceiling. These cameras are responsible for wirelessly transmitting the chair’s position to a system that indicates where it’s supposed to go. The chair also has rollers that allows it to move independently, depending on where it’s routed to by the cameras. When in motion, the chair actually moves by itself without any assistance, kind of like the ones you see in horror movies, except that technology is making these chairs move and not some kind of otherworldly spirit.
Nissan has already adopted this technology on a number of its models, including the European-spec X-Trail Hybrid. It’s unclear if the company plans to source these chairs to other businesses, but it certainly looks like one of those new technological breakthroughs that will have no problem fitting into any kind of office space.
