Haven't done #3D modeling or #CAD lately myself, but if you work in the field and yearn for better #ergonomics and intuitive #usability, you might be interested in the hacking project Rotatrix, a customized trackball with eight (yes 8) degrees of freedom:

One can argue that proprietary, non-replaceable cells can be made in arbitrary shapes and sizes, but the reality is that the adult human hand comes in a certain range of sizes, so there's really very little need to design extremely small products, when AA (or 14500) and CR123A (or 16340) cells exist, and the resulting #flashlights are about the size of a tube of lip balm. #Ergonomics matter!

In Europe, cashiers get to sit. Why is that not the case in Canada?
It only takes around 17 minutes of standing still for someone to feel pain, according to a UQAM professor emeritus and ergonomist. While cashiers across much of Europe are typically seated while working, their Canadian counterparts remain on their feet – raising questions about their well-being and health.

I have finally joined the elite cadre of programmable #keyboard users. I got an Iris LM from #Keebio. I'm liking it so far, but I'm still rebuilding my muscle memory. #programming #development #ergonomics aa

Apparently there is a manual release option. One still couldn't pay me enough to sit in a #Tesla Death Trap, however. Exiting a burning car while concussed, bleeding, and suffering from breaks and sprains should not require similar visual and fine motor acuity to opening a Dell enterprise PC.

Norman Doors have nothing on Musk Doors.

First thing: MICROBREAKS. Stand and stretch frequently. How frequently? I tell my patients every 30 minutes. Now, if you're dealing with an injury, it has to be more frequent. Ideally, before the pain starts. Be PROACTIVE, not REACTIVE.

Once again, had a great lesson about the importance of #backpack #ergonomics . I don't have a dog to exercise me, so I have a 20-kg pet rock ("Aleksis") instead. I've carried it and a few books (to get to 25 kg) in a mediocre backpack for some time now, really feeling the weight - and old.

Ever looked at your keyboard and thought: “What if this little cluster could do more?”

UHK key cluster = your mini command center: launch apps, control media, switch layers, run macros.

Not extra keys — extra power.

Your keyboard was designed for a typewriter. Your hands were not.
Designed by doctors, the TAIKO-01 is split, curved, and tilted to match how your hands actually work. Launching on Kickstarter soon.
