This concept is often used to expand storage space, where the storage shelves slide sideways. While there are electrically powered systems for long aisles, here's a much simpler system from Uline.[1]
If you wanted to build something like Ori, minus the "robotic" part, you could just order the track and rollers from Uline, and build cabinetry out of Ikea parts atop a Uline base.
Business opportunity: write an app to design such things, visualize them, and order the parts. Like Autodesk Kitchen Designer, which does kitchen cabinet planning.
A minimum viable product in this space would be a home office. With the unit in the open position, there's a home office with shelves and cabinets on both sides. Roll it into the closed position, and there's a living room with a deep shelving unit.
