A thin, embedded sensor mat that streams 384-point pressure data in real time — giving gaming and office chairs genuine posture intelligence.
Get in touch View specsPremium chairs compete on adjustability, but posture feedback is still coarse — a single load cell or a handful of capacitive zones. Not enough to drive meaningful health outcomes or differentiated features.
Most "smart" chairs measure one or two zones — too coarse to distinguish pelvic tilt, weight shift, or slouch progression.
Full pressure-mapping systems (Tekscan, XSensor) cost €10,000+. Not viable for consumer integration.
Existing OEM sensor arrays assume wired readout. No off-the-shelf solution streams over Wi-Fi to a companion app.
A passive resistive sensor mat embedded in the seat cushion, paired with a compact battery-powered controller that streams pressure data over Wi-Fi or BLE to a desktop and mobile companion app.
Posture-aware product differentiator. Real-time coaching and session reports.
Corporate wellness and RSI-prevention story. Quantitative seated-load data.
Long-session fatigue and posture analytics for players and performance staff.
Mat fitting third-party chairs as a standalone ergonomic accessory.
