The designers at ToneTree have gone ahead and developed an innovative new iPhone dock, dubbed Oak, that is designed to make it easier than ever for people ranging from bedroom musicians to mobile gamers to enjoy a higher degree of ergonomics and simplicity in their AR adventures.
Currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign over on Kickstarter, the Oak iPhone dock securely holds your smartphone above your desk, although it requires an extra attachment for larger iPhones. Once mounted, the dock works in conjunction with a companion app to allow gamers to enjoy animated competition, while musicians can use on-table pads to create a variety of sounds.
What's more, this iPhone dock even come with a software development kit, making it a great purchase for bedroom programmers and tinkerers.
