"Interactive tables and chairs that when fitted with sensors, will change color according to the object placed on it.”
I read with interests, anticipating some new products from Japanese researchers from the Studio Mongoose design company in Japan. I was disappointed, utterly.
It is not hard to imagine you placing your bums on one of these chairs, and hey, before you can say “Oh my God”, you get a shade of colour to show that you are happy. Now, perhaps, I am too stuck up with life that I have lost the ability to sense my own feelings, and that I need to rely on an external object to tell me that I feel happy.
BBC news reported that these group of Japanese researchers use sensors to scan and work out the colour of the items placed on it. Such interactive furniture have been developed to match and change colour. This includes the mood and weight of the person using it.
If only such chairs are able to sense potential terrorists, wouldnt that be wonderful? Say, needles that are hidden strategically within the chairs eject, and numb the posteriors, temporary freezing the victim, at the same time, sending blood flowing into the other direction. The cops would have been alerted and the next instance, headlines would scream “Interactive chairs play their parts in putting terrorists behind bars”….
…Enough of the dramatic plot here…. to use the chairs to detect abnormalities in the foetus when pregnant mothers sit on the chairs would be, for a start, more realistic.

Then again, Smart neurons and dumb products do not make this world a better place to live in. For the betterment of mankind, these furniture are Not.
