Chair Zaps You If You Slouch

Do you slouch when you work? Got bad posture? Want to get rid of the bad habit?
Forget your mom’s nagging … zap away bad posture with the Posture Feedback Chair by John Morrell and Jean Zheng of Yale University:
The idea though of a nagging, albeit gentle, buzz to ergonomically set you upright is a good one – maybe better for some than others. Figuring that those who don’t want to be reminded would not purchase the chair, the Posture Feedback sitter would likely be motivated to respond to the vibrations by making positive ergonomic changes to their posture. A goal might be to reduce the number of nagging vibrations over a period of time.
