The purpose of this project You are inclining forward with your shoulder and back curling up while you have been using a mouse and the keyboard in front of your PC for a long time. This long time posture often makes the blood circulation around the shoulder not smoothly and will let your shoulder stiff. Therefore I proposed the new chair to improve your posture while using a mouse and keyboard. The first experiment (case 1: when the mouse is used on the elbow of the chair) At first a stand for mouse pads was attached on the elbow of the chair like the left photograph. (2,008.07.15) |

When I put a mouse pad on it and used the mouse like the left photograph, I found to be able to do it relaxedly with natural posture. |

The second experiment (case 2: when the keyboard is used on the elbows of the chair) The keyboard can be divided in two like the left photograph (CG) according to the usual way to type with both hands. Because this case is simulated by a computer graphic, I can't confirm how you will use it. However I can imagine easily that you will be able to use the half-keyboards relaxedly with natural posture like a mouse. In the near future I will try to divide A keyboard in two really, and I want to test it. |
