Abstract

This paper introduces a smart office chair, Owens Luis, whose pronunciation has a meaning of "an encouraging chair" in Japanese. For most of the people, office environments are the place where they spend the longest time while awake. To improve the quality of life (QoL) in the office, Owens Luis monitors an office worker's mental and physiological states such as sleepiness and concentration, and controls the working environment by multi-modal displays including a motion chair, a variable color-temperature LED light and a hypersonic directional speaker.
