Prevent slouching at your desk with VISOMATE

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

Do you slouch at your desk?  Does that give you a bad back or a still neck?  Does it harm your productivity?  What about eye-strain?  If so you need VISOMATE, USB vision and posture reminder utility!

VISOMATE

VISOMATE is a USB-powered device that clips to your monitor and keeps an eye on the distance between your forehead and your monitor (the ideal distance is 35 to 60 cm).  If you get too close or too far away, a blue LED switches on.  If you slouch, a red LED is illuminated.  For $26, it’s money well spent if it works.
