Based on statistical data for 2016 have found that gamers spend approx six hours a week playing games on the computer or phone, which means that they spend a considerable amount of time in sitting position. To enable them to the maximum comfort, will be a new technology scanned their butt, and then it will be in A 3D technician drew the chair according to the shape of the back side.
Their move is more than meaningful, as the gaming industry brings 137 billion US dollars, and gamers are usually users the latest technologies. Mass production 3D printed chairs are just in their infancy, but Ikea plans to commercialize this one concept until 2020.
