Abstract

This study investigates the feasibility of integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technology into office chair design to enhance user comfort and ergonomics. By examining current office chair designs and IoT technologies, as well as conducting user testing, the research evaluates the efficacy of a proposed IoT-enabled office chair prototype. Utilizing the System Usability Scale (SUS) for usability assessment, the study provides immediate feedback on posture and comfort to users. The findings from this research inform adjustments to the prototype, enabling it to offer an enhanced user experience. Through the evaluation of the prototype's effectiveness and discussions on potential advancements in IoT-enabled office chair design, this study contributes to the evolution of smart office furniture for improved workplace ergonomics and user satisfaction.
