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.

[–] highenergyphysics@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 7 points 6 months ago

Roomba style self charging with a queue, lol

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean, wireless charging is a thing nowadays

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 4 points 6 months 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.

[–] BirdyBoogleBop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months 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

[–] kool_newt@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I would expect some Harry Belafonte to start playing or something.

Presentation ends

Everyone claps

Chairs push themselves in, cutting everyone in half

[–] mriormro@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Well, the meeting was about cutting expenses.

[–] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 months ago

Final destination type shit lmao

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 35 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] punkwalrus@lemmy.world 46 points 6 months 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.

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

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 30 points 6 months ago

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

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

? What do you use instead of a whiteboard?

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (2 children)
[–] dingus@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months 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.

[–] explodicle@local106.com 2 points 6 months 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.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

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

[–] hark@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

A lot of work went into making this minor convenience.

[–] ElectricCattleman@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months 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.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Can we put this tech on shopping carts?

[–] gearheart@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

All I can imagine is someone clapping at a presentation.

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

[–] starlord@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

NOW DO THIS WITH SHOPPING CARTS
