Finally, a real computer workstation that catches up with future science fiction.

Fatigue reducing, productivity enhancing, Okamura Cruise Computer Workstation
The future of a great computer work station is here – NOW
In 2004, I was watching i,Robot, a movie staged in the year 2035, where a techn-photic cop investigates a crime that may have been perpetrated by a robot, which leads to a larger threat to humanity. Being in the Office Furniture business in San Jose at the time, I was fascinated by a futuristic computer workstation that the robot used during the moving that had a very rounded, molded look, which wrapped around the robot giving arms length access to all functions. When I got the DVD, I even stopped at the look and photographed the image to remind me of its’ look. OK – I’m just hung up on great looking furniture.
Try as I might, I can’t find the image on the Internet and not wanting to offend Twentieth Century Fox, I’m not publishing that personal use picture I took of the futuristic work station.
Travel on to 2013 – Finally I see a new computer workstation design that comes close to that futuristic dream – the Okamura Cruise.
The Okamura Cruise design starts with an innovative change in the user’s posture at the work station.
You get unprecedented comfort and concentration by the Okamura Cruise “low-seat, rear-tilt” design. A design based on an industry-academia joint project, the Cruise uses human body engineering techniques, that sought to understand the physical characteristics of the human body, what the body’s needs are and apply that understanding to the chair and workstation design.
The low-seat, rear tile posture places very little stress on the human body and literally allows the computer user to focus on the results of his or her work and not be fatigued as the day/hours ware on.
Space saving, while giving a sense of personal space, Okamura Cruise Workstation
Multiple Styles – from personal workstation space to group clusters
One version (Type A) gives a very unique, personal work space that uses round panels to provide privacy and focus. This design, with its surrounding panels, give you a higher work concentration.
In a more casual setting, this design and the accompanying mix of styles, options, transforms what could be a very bland invironment into wonderful, functional spaces that facilitate collaboration a very open liberated feel.
The Type C space greatly improves space efficiency (more workers per square foot), fitting in a more formal setting yet at the same time, enhances the ability of individuals to work effectively for long hours in front of a computer while simultaneously reducing fatigue. It creates a diverse space that is well suited to group work and yet provides a sense of personal, productive space.
