Sitting for long periods of time can be detrimental to the health of the body but Jaguar Land Rover is developing a "seat of the future" with a shape-shifting design that's meant to boost well-being. For the average person, a sedentary lifestyle involves a lot of sitting, which may not just take place at a work desk but also a long commute home. This innovative new seat prototype is "designed to improve customer wellbeing by tackling the health risks of sitting down for too long" by making constant micro-adjustments that trick the brain into thinking it's walking.
The "morphable" seat being trialed by Jaguar Land Rover’s Body Interiors Research division simulates the rhythms and movements of walking or pelvic oscillation.
