Lazy? Voice-Activated Massage Chair

by Evan Shamoon on July 9, 2007 at 08:24 AM



The lazy might want to sit down for this one: the Inada Robo Chair Massage Recliner with Voice-Activated System does just what its preposterously long name says it does -- namely, lets you control its advanced reclining technology with the dulcet tones of your own voice.

The chair can adjust your reclining angle up to 170 degrees, and your voice also activates the massage programs, as well as the position and intensity of the back roller. Oh, and it costs $5,999 -- but can you really put a price on idleness?

So it seems the American dream has officially arrived, courtesy of Japan. No word on whether the thing can still understand you with a mouthful of Fritos, but here's hoping.
