JAKARTA - Volkswagen Norway made an innovation in work seats and autonomous gaming chairs that looked like chairs in the Star Trek film.

As a marketing exercise, the automaker claims to have built an office seat that not only looks feasible for a captain on Star Trek but can also go around the office with his own five wheels. Even at speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour, it's very fast for seat sizes, especially seats with multiple rotary wheels.

The company said the seat could travel 12 kilometers with exchangeable batteries.

Not only that. The facility is more than a car, with sensors for 360-degree collision avoidance, a full-guide backup camera, a manned embroidered chair, party lights, touch screens, USB chargers, and crane barriers.

There are also LED headlights, seat belts, and horns that are standard features. There is even a "bagation" with a space of 0.17 cubic feet to store documents or laptops.

If you look closely at some extraordinary physical control. Other signatures have touchscreens.

The Verge in its report also includes behind-the-scenes videos of how it was made, including some footage of the final product. It looks like it started as a simple coverboard that was loaded into an office chair and grew into something beautiful from there.

Hopefully everything offered is real and can be marketed. Because Volkswagen recently has a history of lying to the public.

This time, the company seems transparent enough that this is a one-time marketing act, while they suggest that "the chair will be available for test drives in various locations." This means that Norwegians will soon be able to prove their abilities and not just the outdated marketing technique they do.
