Transender therapeutic gaming surround sound reclining chair

Abstract

A Therapeutic High Backed Reclining Gaming Chair with Surround Sound and a Tactile Transducer. The chair is designed using Human Factors Engineering. Design characteristics are specifically fashioned to afford therapeutic support and comfort based on the typical movements of seated gaming participants. It is a recliner with targeted padded support, fixed armrests, adjustable headrest, footrest and a repository for gaming remotes and controllers. 5.1 Surround Sound is provided via a plurality of speakers recessed within the chair core and strategically directed toward the occupant. The chair core contains sound deadening materials. There is minimal sound bleeding. Vibrational energy is transmitted including controlling sound and vibrations, which are transmitted through speakers and the transducer. An Infrared Remote Control induces a Transmitter to communicate with a Central Processing Unit in the Chair. A programmable chip within the Central Processing Unit directs communications with the speakers and transducer.

Problems solved by technology

When Garners participate in long gaming sessions, they typically sit on the edge of a couch, bed or hard backed chair, none of which provide support to the back, shoulders, neck or head.

As a result many Gamers suffer from associated aches and pains, thus limiting enjoyment of the experience.

Consequently Garners often suffer from symptoms of Venous Insufficiency; also referred to as blood pooling, which can be caused by standing or sitting for long periods of time.

This, combined with the motions required for competent play, often result in spillage.
