Firstly, a basic translation of pressure to rotation to linear motion again through linkages. Here, the basic idea is a armrest that will elevate up from below the level of this chair's seat. It will be triggered by the "seatee's" weight utilizing the rack and pinion to rotate one of the linkages to elevate said armrests.
Another,
We went ahead and tried to apply it onto a larger scale, such as a facade. Here rotating members span horizontally which are then attached to linkages which will orient panels. Through varying the lengths and positions of these linkages, different movements and positions of these panels are possible. Again, we are just exploring possibilities. The last example you see here actually uses a scissor jack system however, in which long screws control the expansion/contraction of the associated linkage system.
