That looks fun as hell. Also what's DW stand for?Darling Wife
My DW does not mind the side effect of rock-hard abs and a generally very strong core. I do not mind sitting exactly how I please. This is my perfect chair.MoreShow Image(http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q377/StockersPics/chair.jpg)
Yes, seriously. I used to sit on an exercise ball but popped two of them because of debris on the concrete floor. Before that I had chairs with backs removed, which was in improvement over chairs with backs, which would always lead to me slouching one way or the other. This is superior to any chair I have sat on including some $$$$ Herman Miller stuff that was actually pretty nice for normal-looking furniture.
You want to sit perfectly centered and upright? Try and sit off-center. You will fall. You want to sit with your thighs sloping down? Slope em down. You want 90 degrees? Make 90 degrees. You want tilted backwards and to the side? You wan to FRIKKEN BOUNCE WHILE YOU ARE TYPING? This is either a front suspension coil spring from a big truck, or the base to a playground toy. I don't know where it came from exactly- I found it as scrap steel. It's welded to a heavy steel plate, and lashed to the seat from a conventional office chair. The foot rest is also custom, and pivots about 20 degrees either way. I find I sit much more upright on this than on anything else I've used. It's either hold yourself on top, lean on the desk with most of your weight, or fall off.
side bonus: everyone else HATES my workstation. Between this chair, my ExpertMouse, ergo keyboard, and unconventional monitor setup, it's like a cross to a vampire and nobody ever tries to get on my computer "just for a minute".

Hose and a turtleneck. LOL! A fan blowing through her hair. That girl loves to sit.Sitting on as spring the commercial way: http://www.spinalis.be/SPINALIS/EN/S/spinalis_chairs/
Cool chairs but what is with their models? They're like the American Apparel of the chair industry. The one girl I don't think was wearing any pants.

I have just one huge ab and it's not rock hard.
You'd have to watch out for the sensitivity, maybe use an acceleration program. You'd hate to go to scroll quickly and fall off the side of the joystick. If you think missing a keystroke hurts your FPS performance, wait till you fall over on your back during an online firefight!
Still, maybe if you wanted to use the chair for POV control, and found a big enough set of strain gauges, it could be done. If it were still a spring chair, you'd need a telescoping connection to allow bouncing. Integrate switches somehow so that bouncing causes an action. Pick up your feet a little to make the weight on the chair increase, and your character in the game crouches down. Unweight the chair totally to jump. Accelerometers in the chair to sense how high to jump. It could probably be done.
Could, of course, is hardly the same as Should!
