Swooper Chair

So, what we have here is a Swooper chair.  This little guy helps you work on your posture while working at your desk.  To get the job done,  the Swooper takes a low-key approach – that is to say that it doesn’t do much at all.  It is a little springy, and it doesn’t stand upright very well.  Much like sitting on a ball, you are forced to actively sit, using your core muscles to keep your body upright.  If you like to slouch and know that you shouldn’t, or if you are simply prone to back pains and strains, you may want to look into this stylish chiropractor replacement.  It is not cheap at $599, but a lifelong healthy back is priceless.  If you just can’t seem to justify that much coin on an almost chair, head down to your local athletic shop and pick up a large exercise ball.  The ball will only set you back $25 or so, but it will accomplish nearly the same end result.

Mori might be the cutest AI companion robot yet, and it reacts to you like a pet
The Pokémon-like companion can blink, dance, act shy, and respond to what is happening around it.
OKA Mori The Nature Companion AI Home Robot

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
