A remote control strapped to one of his wrists offers several modes of action: "stand", "sit", "walk", "ascend 'and" descend "(the last two being pertinent to climbing and coming down staircases)."

The amazing part is that the client that USES the real remote RPC service is not much different than the version that USES the stand-alone version of the service.

Or, the lab seat can simply be a highly capable display for viewing remote scientific computations, a collaboration hub for group projects, or a stand-alone access point for connecting to the Web.
