Magic Desk is a smart gesture-driven table

Recent studies in the field of labor productivity have shown that a direct impact on employee productivity is the way a person sits at his desk. Modern work involves staying in the office for 8 - 10 hours. The inconvenient position associated with inappropriate furniture leads to a deterioration of the health of users, reduced productivity and rapid fatigue. So by the end of the week, many of us are not feeling well. Even daily workouts at the gym are not able to correct the effects of spinal curvature and relieve back pain. Today we head to San Mateo (USA) where The 37° C Smart Home company presents a gesture-adjustable Magic Desk table, as well as a Magic Lamp LED that can charge your gadgets, signaling a wrong posture , helps maintain good posture and make pauses while working.

Features of the novelty

The outflow of labor resources is observed in different countries of the world. Of course, this is not the case everywhere, as large as in Ukraine, but these tendency forces employers to reconsider working conditions for the better so that employees are interested in the results of their work and in no hurry to leave. European governments have even passed several laws in the last few years that make life easier for wage earners. They are not only about increasing the number of days off (moving from five days to four days a week while maintaining the level of pay), but also improving the social package, which now provides for longer vacation, as well as time spent traveling to and from office considered as working hours. Recent studies have shown that the measures taken have contributed to increased productivity and reduced labor migration.

In the United States, for example, there is ongoing research to improve the quality of work and reduce the physical and mental costs of each individual employee. Performance experts recommend changing the posture more often to those who are busy, mostly sitting. For this purpose special furniture is developed, which reduces the risk of posture distortion and deterioration of health. Over the past few years, so-called standing desks have become increasingly popular in the West, allowing them to adjust their height in the range from sitting to standing and contributing to increased productivity.

Previously, we talked about a fully customizable The Edge Desk from a Chicago-based company of the same name, which received the appearance of an All-In-One module that combines a tabletop with the ability to adjust its height and tilt from portrait to landscape, with height-adjustable seating, as well as innovations - soft footrests to accommodate their knees. According to the manufacturer, the seated person automatically occupies the correct posture even without a backrest (you can read more about it at the link below).

Today's novelty has a built-in motor and several sensors that respond sensitively to the movements of your hand, lowering or lifting the tabletop to the level you need now. The table is made in minimalistic design, and the material of its manufacture was steel and pressed wood plate. The novelty has received several variants of the size of the tabletop with the possibility of individual selection for the parameters of the user - 150 * 70 cm (length * width) and 120 * 70 cm. The table is very strong and can withstand loads up to 120 kg, so you cannot be afraid that it will break under a load of document folders or a stack of books.

The height of the legs is adjustable and is in the range from 65 cm in the lower position to 130 cm in the upper. In order to adjust the level of the worktop, it is necessary to attach a palm to the sensor located on its edge. If you want to raise the table, then place your palm under the sensor and gently lift it. To reduce the height of the tabletop, you need to place the palm above the sensor and lower it gently. The manufacturer guarantees that there will be no false positives as the width of the tabletop is large enough to avoid such cases. If a cat jumps on a table, the sensor will not respond to it as it is programmed only for human touch.

The manufacturer offers a smart LED Lamp, included in the table kit to improve performance and correct posture, which has a display with time display, wireless charging Qi and wired - via USB, as well as built-in sensors that control the distance between the user and the table. It shows every hour that you need to change your posture and that you are leaning too close to the table.

Magic Lamp has several lighting settings for everyday tasks. Read mode provides 100% brightness with 4000K color temperature with messages on. Focusing - turns on when you need to get the job done that requires the most detail (drawing drawings, drawings, diagrams, etc.) with 5500K illumination and signals off so you don't get distracted. The display mode involves working on a computer, has a color temperature of 2700K and allows reducing the negative impact of blue light from the monitor on vision. Messages in it are also enabled.

The lamp has a built-in battery with a capacity of 5200 mAh. It can work from the network as well as act as a charger for your smartphone. This is possible with Qi's built-in charging into its display. Charging power is 5W, which greatly speeds up its process. Magic Lamp uses a state-of-the-art OLED display that consumes little power and is bright and clear enough not to strain the user's vision.
