ChairIO – the chair-based interface
Steffi Beckhaus (DE) Kristopher J. Blom (DE) Matthias Haringer (DE)

Why reduce your full body potential to small hand movements once you
start using a computer? The ChairIO is a chair based interface to
control navigation in 3D environments or to control cursor movement on the desktop. To operate the ChairIO, users sit on the device, based on the Swopper© by aeris, and tilt it by shifting their body weight in any direction or rotate the seat. This physical movement of the seat is mapped to viewpoint/direction movement in the 3D environment. This way of controlling navigation has proven to be highly intuitive for navigation, is good for the back, and is a joy to use.
