It’s pretty obvious that some countries are continuously brainstorming on how to make our lives better as Japan has just invented the first wearable chair called Archelis (meaning walkable chair in Japanese) which adds to the wearable gadgets already on ground. The chair was designed mainly for the medical field by Yokohama-based mold factory Nitto in collaboration with Chiba University’s Center for Frontier Medical Engineeering, Hiroaki Nishimura Design and Japan Polymer Technology.
The Archelis is a wearable chair that eases fatigue by supporting key pressure points of the leg, such as the top of the thigh, the front of the calves and the balls of the heels. With extra joints at both the knee and ankle positions, it also provides a full walking range of motion, eliminating the need to constantly remove the apparatus. This device was initially designed for those who spend long and often intensive hours on their feet with little time for rest and recuperation. The list which includes but not limited to Doctors, Surgeons, retail assistants, hospitality workers, cashiers, tellers, security guards and convention goers.
This wearable technology will likely be made available in the summer this year with no information as regards pricing. No more standing for long hours in any condition whatsoever. Thanks Japan.
