Nebulae Global Benefit Corp. (Nebulae Global), led by Wanda L. Spence, CEO, confirms proof-of-concept for its patented wheelchair - THE SMART CHAIR. THE SMART CHAIR is a novel wheelchair developed to achieve current modalities of manual and electric wheelchairs in addition to the transformative modality of offering full range motion, including lowering users on to and off of the floor. THE SMART CHAIR is designed for individuals who use wheelchairs as a secondary aide and those that are wheelchair-bound. The targeted user group includes the elderly, quadriplegics, and amputee victims, as well as individuals with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, scoliosis, and cystic fibrosis. THE SMART CHAIR is inherently a disruptor because current data does not categorize Lowering & Lifting Off the Floor as a modality. Current wheelchairs on the market lack the ability to offer the full range of floor to raised positions or floor to standing positions.
Initial market analysis projects THE SMART CHAIR to be a multi-billion-dollar disruptor with the capabilities to positively impact the lives of prospective users.
Wanda Spence, CEO:
"Although our motivation is not just profit, investors can feel confident our device will be profitable. We've invested time and resources in making sure our technology works and is attractive to those desiring more independence as a result of their particular mobility issue. Also, advocates should understand that THE SMART CHAIR will be green and not negatively add to our current climate issues."
Nebulae Global has a goal of raising $2 to $5 million in capital to further develop and launch THE SMART CHAIR.
Stephen R. McDow, Executive Vice President, Strategy:
"Proof-of-concept says the chair is feasible and can be further developed. It's not 'pie-in-the-sky' thinking; rather, an empirically proven and science-based idea birthed from a very personal experience Wanda had. This is America and our desire to lead wheelchair innovation globally means millions of individuals with mobility issues will obtain greater equity in their daily living."

By Christopher Borrelli Seventy years ago, Godzilla, King of the Monsters! debuted in Chicago theatres as half of a double bill with a Roger Corman prison flick, Swamp Women. Infamously, the monster movie underwent an extensive facelift between its Japanese premiere in 1954 and its landfall in the United States two years later: two independent production companies bought the American rights on an agreement that anything too Asian or unsettling be removed for American audiences. Out went all the...

AI-generated fashion models present a tantalising opportunity for brands: the ability to create lifelike images for their retail websites while cutting costs by 90 per cent or more compared to photo shoots with human models. For the modelling industry, the technology poses an existential threat because of scant regulation governing the ownership or use of digital twins. Fashion models face the risk of unpaid replication of their image – or replacement by entirely synthetic models. Interviews...
There comes a moment in modern life when the mandate of functionalism becomes a drag. It often arrives during the evening rush, when a heavy shoulder bag – stuffed with laptops, chargers and the clutter of a productive existence – feels less like a vessel for living and more like a labour in itself. Enter the anti-tote. From the runways of Paris to the digital streets of Substack and Instagram, fashion is experiencing a collective retreat into the exquisitely impractical. On the arm of A-listers...
