This is quite a funny piece of gadget designed presumably by the Japanese, called the Visomate. The Visomate is primarily intended to boost workplace productivity by encouraging employees to sit up straight and stay awake. But you might also agree that it could help those with chronic backpain, just possibly!
As you may know or even have experienced this yourself, many people do actually fall asleep on the job and of course employers find this to be a real threat to their business!
On the other hand, Visomate can also be used, as it were, to correct bad sitting postures, Visomate is mounted onto the top of your screen and connected via USB. It doesn’t need any software, as soon as it is connected (for the power), once you begin to slump a little, an alarm will go off because the posture correction sensor has been triggered. And while you can mute the alarm, a LED signal is also emitted so your slouched state can be noted from afar - lol!
It is very easy to set up. All you have to do is to connect VISOMATE to USB port of your computer. You don’t even have to install any software. Once you connect it to a USB port, LED light will come on to activate the posture correction sensor.
If you’re interested, the Visomate USB posture correction alarm is available now online for $37 from the RareMonoShop.
