Abstract

An integrated user interface system (360) being disposed at a chair (382) and methods for manufacturing and using same. The user interface system comprises one or more interface elements (366) that are disposed at an armrest (388) or other suitable chair location and that are obscured from view or otherwise de - emphasized when a user is distal from the user interface system. At least one selected interface element becomes emphasized when a user hand becomes proximate to the user interface system. The selected interface element can become emphasized, for example, by becoming visible and/or by forming a raised projection. Upon becoming emphasized, the selected interface element is activated for use and can be manipulated to interact with available system resources. The chair (382) advantageously can appear to be an ordinary chair when the user interface system is not in use and can present the user interface system when the user wishes to access the system resources.
