ergoavFolks, I know we're just discussing a desk here, but what we're bringing to the table is so much more than that. It's a revolution in integration and neatness. I've been around long enough to have owned a Nokia 3310 - a device that not only had all the essentials and a replaceable battery but was also incredibly affordable. But times have changed, and that era is long gone. I'm well aware that we've got a community of bright minds here. So, why not hit me with your groundbreaking ideas? Who knows, your innovation might just be the star feature in our upcoming products!

Vayra86Thanks for your responses on my earlier thoughts. It does clarify a few things to justify this is 'more' than the average desk.

One idea I do have... Could a desk with sensors do some positive work wrt ergonomics. I'm thinking of some sort of system where the desk height is considered relative to the seating of its user, the desk can measure arm weight/pressure and perhaps combined with some body stats you could have the desk suggest which height is the lowest strain for the user. It could also warn us if the pressure on the desk changes radically (goes up) because then we're leaning into it.

Because frankly, if you're a frequent PC user, this is that one area that's just near impossible to keep up with. Good ergonomics, especially for prolonged periods of time. Perhaps the desk could also tell me to take a walk from time to time :D

ergoavAbsolutely, that's a stellar idea! Imagine having a desk equipped with sensors that can track your posture, monitor the pressure exerted by your arms, and even keep an eye on your eye movements. By crunching this data, the desk could dynamically adjust its height to ensure you're always working at the most ergonomically sound level, minimizing strain and promoting better health. It could even nudge you to take a much-needed break and stretch your legs every now and then! I'm just pondering whether integrating such a system might raise some eyebrows regarding privacy concerns. What are your thoughts?

ergoavThe power cord placement is yet another hurdle we've tackled. Let's be honest, the majority of standing desks out there have power cords dangling from the desktop, which is nothing short of a hassle when adjusting the desk's height, particularly when the cord isn't near a wall. That's why we've upped the game with a spring cord system that extends from the base, keeping things a bit tidier. Granted, it's not the ultimate solution - in a perfect world, we'd have the cord seamlessly integrated within the legs. But let's face it, current engineering just isn't there yet in terms of reliability. So, we're sticking to what we know works best, offering the most reliable solution available to date
