Our blend of patented technologies enables enhanced ergonomics and workflow for pen display operation.
Origin of XOOT
XOOT_Pro uses unique set of technologies for positioning and holding displays. The basic idea of a better arm system started years ago when Chris was working with prototype touch screens (pre-iPhone). He realized this touch technology could be used in common PC monitors. This would require a better arm system to solve the ergonomics of physically interacting with a screen.
This started a long process of tinkering with prototypes and showing them to friends and colleges. Eventually, the basic elements of the XOOT design were discovered.
- Using a pivot path, to weightlessly pivot the screen from mouse and keyboard use to drawing modes.
- The Electromagnetic braking system, to lock the screen in its position.
- The anti-topple arms, to keep the screen from falling forward when pivoted outward.
Patents were obtained and Chris approached PC manufacturers with his solution for ergonomic issues with All-In-One PCs. The general response was “Don’t call us. We’ll call you”.
But, the solution worked so well… there had to be someone that would benefit from this. Pivot to digital artist market.
Digital Artists’ Feedback
Chris reached out to every artist who would try out the first XOOT prototypes. He shipped them all across the U.S., gathered feedback, made adjustments, and tried again. The overwhelming positive response from the reviewers convinced him to commit to manufacturing.
And that brings us to today.
After years of design refinement and working with manufacturing partners, XOOT_Pro available for sale.
We’re still a very small company and continually making new inroads into the digital art community.
