It is very unnerving to have to navigate through several scattered chairs on the floor before you can settle in to your desk. Wouldnt it be nice to have self-homing chairs which on their own return to their desks and not be left lying around aimlessly?

Now it has become a possibility. Nissan, the giant automaker, has recently unveiled what would be the most useful invention for office workers - chairs that go back to their original desks just by the clapping of hands.

This is welcome news to janitors and utility men, or just anyone who is already fed up returning the chairs of their workmates to where they should be in the first place. Thanks to Nissan which has developed this system as part of its intelligent parking assist technology called hands-free parking.

This Intelligent Parking Chair is somewhat similar to the functional hover board created by Lexus. Nissan created it as part of its marketing strategy to promote its own car technology. Taken from the parking assist feature in its cars, the system that moves the chairs is certainly useful and also very impressive.

However, there is no word from the car manufacturer if it intends to sell these chairs at this time.

"This is a very useful function, not only for those who are bad at parking, but also for skillful drivers who are tired and less focused after a long drive," said one of the developers of Nissan's self-parking system for cars.

The technology that powers the chair is admittedly complex since it involves a command center that controls the chair using Wi Fi, camera sensors in the ceiling and the electric motor at the chair's base that runs its wheels.

According to Nissan, these self-homing chairs are only the prototypes that Nissan developed in its effort to create self-parking technology for cars.
