Making a "usable" chair?

i'm thinking about creating a scene where the player has to sit down in a chair, and then the chair gets moved by some robot arms as a funny way of transportation.

Though how do i create a chair that i can use, so that on "use" the camera smoothly transports itself to the viewpoint of the chair and then stays "parented" to the chair until the player exits the chair.

In the end it should work similar to how the "combine transport pods" work,
like this one:

You could create a point_viewcontrol following a path.
There is a flag for the viewcontrol to start where the players view is, so the transfer will be smooth.
The player can be teleported via point_teleport to any place he wants to leave.

In HL2 they used a vehicle. You can use vehicles in Portal as well, however I haven't fiddled around with it much.

Yeah they have used vehicles in Portal 2, such as (i think),

i tried working with both the point_viewcontrol and point_viewproxy but they both constrain the camera.
Is there a way to use them with the player's body just being fixated instead of being in a headclamp

Congrats on the Spotlight!!! And I think Valve has some kind of script for making the player constraint their view (to certain degrees/where you can move the mouse).
