Does anyone remember a spherical cubicle?

July 15, 2008 8:28 PM

I saw a website or read an article about an ergonomic "cubicle" that was actually a very large, balanced sphere. The person would lie down inside the sphere in a perfectly supporting "chair" (somewhat like a first-class recliner), facing upwards; the keyboard was at lap level, and the monitor hung from the top of the sphere. Now I can't find it. Help?

Best answer: Is it the Gravitonus Workstation?

Response by poster: HOW did you find that? What is your google-fu secret?

Google image search for "ergonomic work station," blogspot link at bottom of first page.

I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping from your description that the sphere would look more like a large red hamster ball. :|

Exactly! Oh the disappointment... I was thinking an all-white balloon type thing. Oh well.

Me too! I'd imagined something along the lines of the giant red ball in the earlier seasons of Alias.
