"Most chairs don't get it" - meet the gaming chair that just surpassed $3,000,000 on Kickstarter

A screenshot from the LiberNovo Omni reveal video showing the white chair from the side.

If there's one thing that the LiberNovo Omni's Kickstarter campaign has taught me, it's that people really aren't satisfied with the current designs of office and gaming chairs. This newly invented, ergonomic, posture-supporting chair had an original goal of $49,000, and with 38 days still to go in its campaign, it's already surpassed $3,000,000 worth of crowdfunding.

How has that happened, I hear you ask? The LiberNovo Omni has garnered a lot of attention of late as the first-ever chair with a dynamic backrest support system. In short, the backrest adapts to you as you move around in it, supporting the natural curvature of your spine no matter if you're reclining, sitting upright, or changing your seat position. I've seen plenty of chairs with floating lumbar systems, in fact, I'm testing one right now, but a fully dynamic backrest is definitely a first in my book.
