Abstract: A body support structure includes a base and a cushion moveable between a seating configuration and a sleeping configuration. The cushion may include foldable first and second sections. In one embodiment, a spacer includes first and second support surfaces, and is pivotal between an upright position, wherein the first support surface engages and supports the cushion in the seating configuration, and a down position, wherein the second support surface engages and supports the cushion in the sleeping configuration. Methods of reconfiguring a body support structure are also provided.

Abstract: A participative kiosk configured to provide an interactive and adaptive environment is provided. The kiosk is comprised of a user interface, a user support, at least one biometric sensor, an audio sensor and an optical sensor. The kiosk includes a display and at least one audio speaker. The user support is positioned to provide a user with a view of the user interface. The biometric sensors are configured to measure real-time biometric data associated with the user. The auditory sensor receives vocal input commands from the user and the optical sensor detects movement of the user within the kiosk. The control system is configured to communicate with the user interface, the biometric sensors, the auditory sensor, and the optical sensor. The control system operable also is configured to control at least one environmental condition of the kiosk in response to an input from at least one of the biometric, auditory and optical sensors.
