Working from home has become commonplace for many professionals but has led to the development of bad habits like poor posture, which is something the conceptual 'Uplift' posture-monitoring desk accessory is focused on fixing.
Designed by Aj Choudhury, the intuitive device works by being positioned on a desktop and utilizes a built-in camera to continuously track the posture of the user in real-time. The form of the user is conveyed to them with a character that mimics their posture to remind them to sit up straight.
The conceptual 'Uplift' posture-monitoring desk accessory also functions as a timer to optimize productivity and will provide health suggestions throughout the day. This includes encouraging the person to take a break, stand up, stretch, and more.
