DESK JOBS NO LONGER REQUIRE A DESK! (NON SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE TECH)

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

The purpose of this post is to exchange/gather ideas about tech that promotes the undeskification(?) of our desk jobs and sedentary PC-centric habbits.

Tech should be able to unchain us from having to tolerate living our whole lives cramped and stuck on a chair forming a meander, constantly failing to adjust to comfortable positions, leading to serious health damage just because we couldn't find a more efficient way to write a simple email or fill some numbers on a spreadsheet.

Standing desks were once thought to be a solution but not so much anymore.

Treadmill desks are stupid.

In theory the solution is simple.

Simply bring the computer screen on your eyes!Bring the keyboard and mouse on your fingers!Bring the control of the machine on your brain!You now have the ability to do ANY short of work you desire, but still capable of maintaining ANY position you like, make ANY organic movement you wish and continue to live your physical life while you occupy your mind with something else.Basically what AR promises to bring but we are not exactly there so,lets work with what we have.

Here is brief list of tech gadgets and technologies that our worth trying:

  • Ximmerse: Visor X (and any similar device)
  • VR headsets
  • Projectors
  • Wireless handheld mouses
  • Eye/hand tracking technologies
  • EEG brain controlled devices
  • Voice command technologies

Some of the technologies are not there yet.

The combo I would like to try that works right now is:

  • Visor X wich holds a phone that casts your pc screen
  • wireless handheld trackball mouse
  • half keyboard

In this way you are still limited by a semi stationary component(keyboard) but otherwise you allow your self to be anywhere in a room, you can stretch your neck,lye in any position, squat, roll on the floor etc and still you keep track of the screen and work normally.

Removable batteries discussion

I have always preferred phones with removable batteries so far, thinking that it will most certainly be the first component in a device to fail. I have even advised people in my circles to do so, until a recent event. A family member of mine still uses a HTC DesireX. Recently, he wanted to replace his battery because of swelling. He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
