I get it, this is a great idea and would be happy to discuss ideas I have for you on marketing… –Jak

I bet that a user could comfortably recline for hours and get many things accomplished.

I can imagine an aftermarket for additional contraptions that attach a cold drink delivery system, a door intercom, and even a mechanism for tipping the pizza delivery guy…

But, somehow, this contraption leaves me with the suspicion that my overall health would rapidly deteriorate. I am not convinced that that the human body was meant to be in a state of perpetual recline, even during the work day.

I hope that the folks using this device do not need muscles, because every muscle in their body except the eyelids and finger joints would atrophy in the first few months of use. In fact, this contraption is a perfect Reverse-Physical-Therapy machine.
