This white paper describes how advanced kinetic analysis has informed Floatation® technology: a seating mechanism that removes the effects of gravity, friction, and mechanical dampening to fundamentally transform human motion, balance, and perception. By enabling movement in a perfectly balanced, weightless state, Floatation® technology engages the body’s intrinsic sensory systems, allowing individuals to experience the inertia of their entire body without external force. This mechanism is central to its ability to reduce external sensory input (exteroception) while heightening internal sensory awareness (interoception).

Floatation® technology is paradigm shift in seating, using pure Planar Motion mechanism. This white paper reports the neurophysiological and phenomenological effects of the latest generation Floatation® technology, drawing on research conducted in both controlled laboratory and applied environments. Findings reveal distinct interactions between set, setting, and conscious experience, illustrating the technology’s unique potential to evoke deep mindfulness, heightened conscious activity, and elevated cognitive and emotional states.

This white paper reports how advanced biomechanical research and structural analysis of the human body have informed the design of the Floatation® technology support system. Developed through novel biomechanical modelling and verified by laboratory studies, the system promotes spinal decompression, muscle relaxation, and improved circulation. By overcoming the mechanical limitations of conventional seating, Floatation® technology demonstrates significant potential to enhance physical comfort, reduce musculoskeletal strain, and support long-term wellness through optimised structural equilibrium.

This white paper reviews current research on auditory beat entrainment with a focus on gamma-frequency stimulation (30–50 Hz), and its application to designing Drone-Based Music (DBM) to accompany Floatation® technology. The key insight is that while both binaural and monaural beats can induce neural entrainment, monaural beats demonstrate stronger effects in the gamma range. These findings provide a clear evidence-based foundation for creating DBM that supports high-frequency neural entrainment and deep states of awareness in Floatation sessions.
