Developed by architecture students at MIT, lead by professor Sheila Kennedy, the SOFT Rocker is a lounge chair where one can rest, while recharging the batteries of various devices.

The clean, efficient charging station uses the human power of balance to create an interactive, 35-watt solar-tracking system and an energy-harvesting feedback loop that is able to sense the chairs orientation to the sun.

The lounger comes equipped with a 12 ampere-hour battery that collects and stores energy throughout the day, allowing the user to power electronics long after the sun goes down.
