Cruising to class on a couch?
Australian engineering students create 'Robocouch' to get around campus
Robocouch takes students to class without all of that exercise nonsense. Engadget reports that at the University of New South Wales in Australia there's a two-seater robotic couch that shuttles students to and from class. The couch was a joke among a few engineering students, who decided to see if their idea could work, and it did! The moving furniture is controlled by an X-box controller, and so far there are no plans to offer this Robocouch at stores soon.

At this point, the app only measures your stress-meter but, unfortunately, unlike a tropical vacation, doesn't lower it, so purchasing an expensive toy might just add to that stress level.
