why the hell does this need to be in development??

10/21/2009 5:48:54 PM

So it's completely uncontrollable?

Bombardier's concept looks more bad-ass.

10/21/2009 5:59:40 PM

uncontrollable? no i think you control it similar to a segway.

10/21/2009 6:02:00 PM

that'd be a pretty sweet office chair

10/21/2009 6:02:26 PM

A segway can steer, this chair cannot.

10/21/2009 6:06:31 PM

he's either steering it through foot pressure or shifting weight on those pads he was sitting on. Maybe the technology can be used to make something useful, but that little chair seems pretty worthless.

if you look at the damn video, the guys is CLEARLY controlling it's motion.

The guy is clearly dragging his damn foot on the floor to make it turn.

10/21/2009 6:27:36 PM

or because he doesn't quite trust it.

10/21/2009 6:28:22 PM

It's a simple controls system that's keeping the chair upright. If there were steering, there would be a gyroscope to turn it in circles. A single ball cannot have torque.
