Superfourin chair allows roughing it for disabled
Sibling-site Engadget posted about the Superfourin chair, a
modified wheelchair/ATV developed by the German organizations Fraunhofer Institute for Information and Data Processing
IITB and Otto Bock HealthCare GmbH. The chair not only allows a disabled person to traverse rough terrains with ease,
but tracks them via the built-in GPS system while other systems monitor the driver's vital signs. In the event of a
problem, such as the driver suffering a seizure or the chair's wheels lock up, an alert is instantly transmitted. Other details, such as the hybrid engine and fleet monitoring, can be found at Engadget.
