Integrated workstation for an immersive experience and video communications

Abstract

The integrated workstation comprises an ovoid recliner chair rotatably mounted on a star-shaped steel base. This chair features a padded bi-fold leg rest, a headrest maintaining a fixed spatial relationship with the user's head during reclination, and a reinforcing steel support member. An adjustable semi-circular support bracket is attached to the chair, connecting to a pivotable ring structure. This structure houses a gaming-optimized contoured display module, audio output devices, an extendable camera assembly with a 45-degree beamsplitter mirror, LED panels, a retractable green screen, and acoustic foam. Accompanying is a crescent-shaped table with a control dial for multiple functions, pivot-mounted to the bracket. The workstation is powered via a chair's base cable. For video conferencing, the chair's headrest remains obscured from the camera perspective.

         2 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said chair  102  further comprises:
 a padded bi-fold mechanical leg rest  112 ; 
 a headrest  114  configured to maintain a fixed spatial relationship with respect to the user's head throughout the reclination motion; and 
 a steel support member  116  configured to reinforce the reclining mechanism. 
 
     
     
         3 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said support bracket  106  is adapted to allow angular adjustment of its terminal ends between a vertical 12 o'clock orientation to an 11 o'clock orientation. 
     
     
         4 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said pair of ring structures  108   a  and  108   b  houses:
 a contoured display module optimized for at least one of gaming, video playback, graphical and photo media rendering, audio consumption, and standard office tasks;   an array of audio output devices oriented for user-directed sound projection; and   an extendable camera assembly incorporating a beamsplitter mirror  118 .   
     
     
         5 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said pair of ring structures  108   a  and  108   b  further comprises:
 a plurality of LED panels positioned at its pivot points;   a front LED lighting arc;   a retractable green screen  120  configured for chroma-based compositing or keying operations; and   an acoustic foam for sound insulation.   
     
     
         6 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said table  110  comprises:
 a crescent-shaped design; and 
 a rotating control dial with a circular display, configured to control a plurality of functions of the integrated workstation  100 . 
 
     
     
         7 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the integrated workstation  100  is powered by a cable extending from the base  104  of the chair  102 . 
     
     
         8 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said chair  102  further includes:
 a resilient padding positioned on the posterior  122   a  and base surfaces  122   b;    
 a pair of armrests  124   a  and  124   b  configured for lateral outward articulation; and 
 the padded bi-fold leg rest  112  that conforms to the contour of the ovoid structure of said chair  102  upon retraction. 
 
     
     
         9 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said chair  102  further comprises an integrated spine structure  128  adapted to facilitate translational movements, enabling the chair  102  to slide between a plurality of seating and reclining positions, said integrated spine structure  128  is configured to utilize its circular configuration to elevate the rotation point substantially above the seating surface rather than pivoting about a pivot point at the base of the chair. 
     
     
         10 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the extendable camera assembly incorporates:
 the beamsplitter mirror  118  is set at an inclination of 45 degrees; and   a low-profile camera module situated proximal to the upper surface of said beamsplitter mirror  118 , configured to acquire the reflected image of the user's face.   
     
     
         11 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said table  110  further comprises:
 an adjustable height mechanism; 
 a pivot junction situated on the left side, facilitates table  110  articulation for user ergonomic adjustment; and 
 a surface dimensioned to receive computing accessories and individual possessions. 
 
     
     
         12 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 6 , the table  110  further comprises a control dial with a touch display, wherein the control dial is programmed to:
 manipulate the chair's  102  orientation, 
 modulate the inclination of the chair  102 , 
 actuate the LED light arc to achieve desired user lighting conditions; and 
 align the pair of ring structures  108   a  and  108   b  to its upright open configuration. 
 
     
     
         13 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the contoured display module being of an ultrawide specification, is integrated into the slender aspect of the pair of ring structures  108   a  and  108   b,  oriented towards the user. 
     
     
         14 . The integrated workstation as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the chair's  102  headrest  114  is configured such that, when the user is positioned for video conferencing, it remains obscured from the frontal camera perspective.
