The chair contains electronics, wheels, and an RFID tag. Upon entering the library, a user activate's a chair with their library card. The chair follows the person everywhere, offering up a place to sit wherever needed. Once the person leaves the building, the chair automatically returns to its docking station to re-juice and get ready for the next user.
