Innovation of the week: An office chair with a personal thermostat

If you work in an office, chances are you're freezing some days and burning up on others, says Adele Peters at Fast Company​. But what if "instead of having to wear a sweater in the office in the summer," you had a chair that kept you the perfect temperature? The Hyperchair, developed by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, works like a heated car seat, using heating tape woven into the fabric to warm the sitter.
