Omnimount Ergonomic TV Mounts

February 20, 2013ergonomics, Gadgets, Gear, Information, Media CenterErgonomics, mounts, Omnimount, TVKL Tech Muse

Omnimount the maker of ergonomic furniture is now making ergonomic TV mounts. The Omnimount mount for TVs allows a television to be moved easily up, down, forward and backward. If you are sitting on the floor you can lower the TV so that you are not craning your neck to watch it. The mount is also extendable so you can bring the TV closer to you. The mount can be extended out up to 28 inches. These mounts would be perfect for people who want to mount their television sets over their fireplace. The problem with this idea is that it leads to the viewer having to look up to watch it which is uncomfortable and unhealthy. With the Omnimount mount you can still place the TV over the fire-place and then bring it down when you want to watch it.

The mounts can handle monitors up to seventy pounds and come in various sizes. Mounts that handle smaller TV monitors are available now and those that can handle bigger monitors should be available soon at an MSRP of $449.00.

MWE Lab Emperor 1510 Compresses an Office into One Object

February 8, 2012ces, InformationEmperor 1510, Ergonomics, MWE Lab, WorkstationAlan

MWE Lab has taken all of the elements of an office and compressed them down into one ergonomic object. MWE stands for Modern Work Environment and they spent about three years designing the Emperor 1510 to make it a place that, according to their spokesperson, a worker can spend 10-12 hours without feeling any fatigue. That’s a strong statement, so what do they have that makes this so special?

It starts with contoured chair that works like a futuristic recliner with buttons to control it’s angle and tilt. There is a tray around in front of the user and hold the keyboard and control buttons. There are three LCD screens arrayed in front of you that can also be angled to whatever the user’s preference is. Buttons on the arm of the chair also control the volume and pretty much everything else. There is even a drink holder for that finishing touch.

You can see a demo from MWE Lab rep Gianni in the video below. The Emperor 1510 is available now for U.S. $6,200. You can order directly from their web site, but they are hoping have U.S. distributors in place soon.
