Ergonomic considerations

What advantages could this product provide?

• When working behind a computer screen, the top of the screen should be at the same height as the eyes. Otherwise stress is put on the neck by looking upwards.
  
• Reading a document or typing on a flat surface requires leaning forward. The inclination angle of the stand prevents this. Stress, that would reside on the back, is lifted.
• Typing on a slightly inclined keyboard causes less tension.

Ergonomic calculations:
(These calculations are made based on data from Dinbelg)

• The average table is 72cm high
• 99% of (belgian) adults are over 107,4cm high (eye-height while sitting)
  
• 99% of (belgian) adults are less than 148,2cm high (eye-height while sitting)
• The average laptop is about 30cm high

This shows that the top of a laptop screen is commonly at 102cm. For 98% of the people, this would be 5,4 to 46,2cm too low. The final version will adjustable up to 42cm. Practically everybody would gain from using this stand, though for some it won't be sufficient, but still already a huge improvement!
