Woodworker Builds Automatic Back Scratching Massage Chair

Ahhhh. Right there, that’s the spot. This is the automatic back scratching chair that you have been dreaming of. Well, at least I’ve been dreaming of it. This crazy contraption was built by woodworker Matt Thompson, who you may remember from such inventions as the automatic dog petting machine.

The customized Adirondack chair not only scratches your back, but it goes the extra mile, massaging your head and your feet at the same time. I have to admit, this chair would feel pretty good right about now, even though it looks like it may not offer the best massage in the world. But, hey, any day that ends with time in this chair is a happy ending.

At first, it might look like a torture device, but Matt sits in the chair and demonstrates, and he’s clearly having a relaxing time lounging around and having some “me” time. Well, him time. I wish it were me. But why didn’t he get his massage with the dog being pet beside him? I wanted to see both machines working at the same time. That would have been a cooler video. This is why you need to hire me Matt. You can pay me in massages.

‘Back’ to the future!

Dullahan is a strange sort of product. It isn’t functional, but it’s incredibly interactive and futuristic, with a good deal of aesthetic appeal. Call it a miniature interactive installation if you will, the Dullahan is a vertebral unit that can be strapped to a human’s back. Through a variety of sensors, the Dullahan can tell when the spine is in an incorrect posture. A series of LEDs light up in blue and red, indicating where the vertebral bones are in correct and incorrect positions, so that you don’t slouch or stoop. The only catch is that since it’s such an aesthetic 3D representation of the spine, you can’t really test it sitting down, or leaning back against a rest.

Still, pretty neat, eh! What if one day you could have electronic tattoos that connect to your spine and use this tech to help you achieve better posture?! Why, just call me Asimov!
