Finally a solution for gamers who want to game but just don’t have the upper body strength to support their own [[link]] arms.
Ikea’s Jesper is a padded bench that you straddle while playing games. The design allows you to rest your arms in front of you as you [[link]] game, thus mitigating even the slightly physical benefits of long hours of gaming.
Ian Bogost theorizes that the Jesper is named after games researcher Jesper Juul. I think it’s named after the guy at Ikea [[link]] who had the bright idea to turn a Tantra chair into something kids can use.
