Product design poll - please share.

When you write or otherwise work at your desktop computer for any length of time, are you prone to experiencing back or neck pain bad enough that you’d consider a $100+ apparatus that minimizes or eliminates the pain, even when used continously throughout the day?

@shoq Yes I get back, neck and shoulder pain. No, I prefer to get up move around and stretch rather than spend money on something that is not better for my physical and mental health. Taking a short break once in a while clears the mind as well as reduces the knots in my muscles.

I hate to admit it, but mom is right. Sit up straight.

But take breaks every hour.

irenes,

@shoq we'd strongly consider anything of that nature - but it's a fairly high bar to convince us a product is going to help

A short backstory on back pain in the workplace.

I really need a much larger sample for this poll to be useful. I may even need a different poll that asks the question a bit differently.

tryst,

@shoq where’s the “i already have such an apparatus” option? :)

@tryst Which type of device?

tryst,

@shoq natural pass-through tethered “AR” glasses.

previously i had created all sorts of contraptions to hold screens in various positions, but having the screen attached to my face makes it much easier to change positions regularly.

@tryst That's an interesting solution, but not one likely to appeal to a mass market.

@shoq I have terrible pain from sitting but it's my sit bones, not my neck or back. I have a standing desk and a drafting chair, so I stand up until I can't take it and then I sit until I can't take it. Then cycle over and over.

@shoq Does it involve electric shocks or cattle prods? Not going to buy things that don't include cattle prods.
