The most important ergonomic benefit of a XOOT system is not shown in the pictures below.
That benefit is the easy movement of the screen. Changing the screen position requires only a light push or pull action, it’s simple and fast. This allows you to keep your body moving. Try not to work in a static position for extended periods. Moving the screen to different angles and locations allows for changing your movements and posture. The idea is to not wear yourself out by constantly working in the same position.
Background:
The XOOT system was designed to solve a problem known as “gorilla arm”. (The term dates to the early 1980’s with the first touch enabled PC, HP-150.)
Steve Jobs (Apple Co-Founder) summarized the problem below:
“Touch surfaces don’t want to be vertical. It gives great demo but after a short period of time, you start to fatigue and after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off. It doesn’t work, it’s ergonomically terrible.”
Solving this problem requires moving the screen to different modes.

Monitor Mode (Mouse and Keyboard Mode)
This mode is where the mouse and keyboard are the primary means of interacting with the computer.

(red lines above indicate the active area of the screen should be at or below eye level)
The general idea is to set up your work environment to naturally aid with good body posture.
- Ears over your shoulders (no neck strain)
- Back is upright, or supported (no spine strain)
- Upper arms relaxed (no shoulder strain)
- Hands aligned with lower arms (no wrist strain)
- Feet are supported (legs are not pinched or strained)
A good reference for setting up a computer workstation for mouse and keyboard operation is the US government OSHA web pages.

Touchscreen Mode (Drawing Tablet Mode)
The screen position changes but the rules for good body posture remain the same.

Notes:
Support feet are folded down below the screen. (These feet may be used with high profile keyboards to ensure the back of the screen does not contact any keys on the keyboard.)
The user’s back is tilted backward this allows the head to tilt forward and still keep the ears over the shoulders.

Enhancement Options:
(The planned enhancement options will not be immediately available with initial product release. We expect to offer enhancement kits later.)
We plan on offering kits to customize your XOOT system based on your needs. These options can be added to modify a stock XOOT system and change its operation.

A kit to change the default tilt of the screen by 10 degrees.
Many people find that a having a slight tilt to the screen is more comfortable when working in mouse or keyboard mode.
Note: A stock XOOT system can tilt the screen by 10 degrees by pulling the screen forward slightly. However, this moves the screen closer and makes it more complicated to grab the grip feet.

(XOOT system shown with MIDI keyboard)
Change the default height of a XOOT System.
Different height blocks can be added between the main arm and the base of the XOOT system. This allows a height adjustment for taller users or a clearance adjustment for taller items on the desk. Changing the main arm’s elevation ensures that the screen’s rotation path is above the items on the desktop.
