Philips Ergosensor Monitor for Sleepy Employees

Brian Yalung — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 15:41:12 +0000

At times, slouching will often lead in tempting you to take a quick doze or maybe a short nap. Everything is perfectly fine except of course if you are in the office and you have tons of paperwork to do. So rather than wait for your boss to take notice and most likely get you into trouble, here is an advanced way to save your neck.

The Philips Ergosensor Monitor will take heed of your “slouching” position and will eventually yell at you if you do. This was all made possible through the monitor’s ergosensor which seems to be more of a webcam that monitors your posture.

The device gives you corrective feedback as well. This comes in the forms of small icons that flash up at the bottom right of your screen.

The monitor should be perfect for ensuring that employees are not sleeping on the job, a good thing for office perhaps and to make sure that they are getting their money’s worth and productivity.

For the office people who cannot stay awake all the time, here is something handy for you.

The pillow is actually a speaker pillow which should make your catnaps a whole lot better when you need some shuteye. It can connect to your iPod, MP3, DVD player or even a laptop.

The ergonomically designed speaker pillow can be yours for only $23.95.

Sundial Cannon Alarm Clock

The Sundial Cannon alarm clock which thrives on solar power should be something worth checking out. Barring any bad weather at noon, the lens on the sundial focuses sunlight onto a pan filled with gunpowder, setting off the cannon to mark the time. The concept is quite cool but realistically, we need alarm clocks that wake us up in the morning. Now if this is a noon clock, it may be equivalent to trouble especially if you are an employee. What excuse would you give your boss other than saying your alarm clock didn’t go off?
