Courtroom Witness Chair
A plain, institutional chair anchored on the courtroom witness stand, sized for a humanoid occupant and fitted with an integrated hand-scanner/sensor module at arm level. Constructed from durable materials—metal framing with molded seating surfaces—the chair bears a clinical, utilitarian look. Characters sit, lean, and place hands on the scanner while counsel circles it, treating the seat as both evidence platform and human interface.
