walk 4 me

An independently motorised massage armchair which includes an audio guide leads the visitor gently through an exhibition.

Driven by a programmed motor within an electric wheelchair, the visitor will be drawn into a unique and exciting challenge.

The automatic motorised armchair follows a route determined by an inductive guidance system. The visitor will have no influence as to the speed neither of the armchair, where it will stop nor to the distance from the designers.

The audio guide which is based on guided meditations from the wellness and spa industry, prepares the visitor mentally for his/her visit to the exhibition. The gentle voice encourages reflection on the individual’s position within the exhibition and enables/releases the visitor to become relaxed and receptive.
