The first time I saw this set-up I thought it was a grooved-up rock band drum set of sorts. I could imagine the ultimate geek swatting away some heavy beats. Those pads around the chair sure does look like drum pads don’t they? Although these would surely put a little smirk at your bandmates faces. Or probably an embarrassed smile excuse that says “I’m with an idiot! haha”.
But this setup is the Vision One Computer Workstation, the pads you see there are armrests, the mouse pad, and speaker stands. It has a 3-monitor stand provision for those who like to see more things in perspective. I think this is geared towards the hardcore gamer though who just couldn’t get enough gaming experience.
It does redefine the concept of a computer station with comfortable seating ergonomic designs and the “sound surround” experience. While this provides the “rich and famous” geek the comfort, the average geeks like most of us would shy away because it’s a heft US$2,600.
There are cheaper options of US$2,000 and US$1,700. Check them out right here.
The link to the manufacture’s website is down… do you know if they moved or went out of business? Also do any other companies make setups like this?
