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.
While libraries might be the obvious location, airports and conference centers could also benefit. A multitude of chairs could be controlled by one access card and programmed to arrange themselves into a theater formation.
