획기적인 몸 부착 웨어러블 의자 웨어러블 의자 '렉스'는 발명가 아스트리드 비오닉스(Arstide Bionix)에 의해 자세와 편안함을 향상시키기 위해 고안된 외골격의 일종이다. 착용자의 뒷면을 휘감는 패드에 부착된 250달러짜리 접이식 알루미늄 다리 한 쌍인 이 장치는 거의 모든 단단한 접지를 하니스에서 튀어나온 접을 수 있는 두 개의 접이식 다리를 사용하여 의자로 바뀐다. 일부는 대중교통을 기다리고, 다리는 멋진 경치를 보며, 심지어 사무실 환경에서 공동 작업까지 한다. 렉스는 실제 제품이라기 보다는 개그처럼 들릴지 모르지만, 이미 킥스타터 캠페인의 초기 목표인 5만 달러를 크게 넘어섰고, 13만 3천 달러의 엄청난 수익을 올렸다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Chul Hwang, conpaper editor, curator edited by kcontents |

A 'wearable chair' is taking a low-tech approach to the drudgery of standing, and irking the internet at the same time.
Lex, as the device is called, is being described by its inventors, Astride Bionix, as a type of exoskeleton, designed to improve posture and comfort.
The device - a $250 pair of folding aluminium legs attached to a pad that clips around a wearer's backside - turns nearly any piece of solid ground into a chair using two collapsible legs that jut from its harness.

Examples from the company's product video show wearers resting their legs in all sorts of scenarios - some waiting for public transportation, taking in a nice view from a bridge, and even working at a communal table in an office setting.
While Lex may sound like more of a gag than a real product, it has already vastly exceeded an initial $50,000 goal for its Kickstarter campaign, raising an eye-watering $143,000.
'Almost all of us have suffered from bad posture, felt fatigue on long commutes and weighed down by heavy backpacks. These physical issues are vexing, ever-present and can not be solved by smartphone applications or digital gadgets,' writes the company on its Kickstarter.
