Think wellness has to be expensive? Think again.
Check out this press release about a “smart”
standing desk for under $300…
New York, NY – May 1, 2015 – Autonomous, a New
York City startup, is launching a complete redesign
of the everyday office desk. The product – The
Autonomous Desk – combines artificial intelligence
and ergonomic furniture design into a new piece of
furniture that may change the way we work forever.
If you work in an office, chances are you spend
eight to ten hours a day – sitting at the desk.
That’s one third of your life. But office desks
today are pretty much the same with what they’ve
always been for hundreds of years. It’s just four
legs, holding up a piece of wood.
The Autonomous Desk is not just a beautiful piece
of modern furniture, it’s artificial intelligence. It
senses your presence and automatically moves
to your preferred heights. It learns about you and
your working habits, and adjusts its algorithm to
you. Throughout the day, it proactively asks you if
you want to stand up or sit down.
It is also a hands-free personal assistant. You
can talk to the desk and ask it like “when is
my next meeting,” “call a taxi,” or “order me a
chicken caesar salad for lunch.” The desk comes
with a speech recognition engine and natural
language understanding, so that you can focus
on your work and just ask it to help you with tasks
throughout the day.
In one way, the Autonomous Desk is also the
first’s smart office hub that let you control all your
connected devices like Nest, Philips Hue, LIFX, or
Lockitron right from your desk.
The Autonomous Desk will be sold from $299.
The company’s mission is to take everyday
(boring) products and turn them into autonomous,
smart, and living objects. The desk is one of main
products that are being launched in 2015.
