This has to be one of the most comfortable workstations ever made. Those who spend hours on a computer know that before long, you start to feel uncomfortable and over time, you get the tell-tale signs of strain on your neck and back.
With the Zero-Gee workstation you are reclining. This means you do not need to constantly adjust your position and you can almost guarantee good posture.
Of course there is the risk that you may never leave the chair.
Imagine you have been working for a while and want to take a little nap....you can stay right where you are. Need a drink? Put it in the convenient cup holder and again, no need to get up to go to the kitchen.
It is not conducive to taking the recommended breaks for computer users as you will probably be so comfortable, but it makes a great alternative to the standard table and chair.
