Being slouched in front of a computer all day causes disastrous effects on our eyes, necks, and backs, yet we hardly notice, or try to remedy it. We’ve even gone as far as lying to ourselves. “Oh, my lower back just hurts from sleeping on it wrong.” The Homi USB is placed at the top of your monitor and alerts you if you become closer then 60cm to the monitor.
The ultrasonic sensors notify you of your foul by chiming, ringing, and blinking LED’s (which can’t be too good for your eyes either, let alone your blood pressure). The Homi might be a bit of an eyesore, because let’s be frank, it’s pretty awkwardly ugly, but for only $27, the Homi promises to keep your ergonomics in check. — Andrew Dobrow
