A new way to hold your Smartphone!
A new way to hold your Smartphone!
Nowadays we spend most of our lives using smartphones. As a result, one tend to hold it in his hand almost everytime which leads to bending of neck. Due to the repeated bending of the neck, many people suffer from Text Neck Syndrome.One study even suggests that such a bended posture is equivalent to carrying 60 pounds on your head constantly.
To tackle this problem, we have designed a handsfree system for mounting your phone such that it stays at your eye level and you don’t have to bend your neck to view your messages. Often in the metro, we spend hours staring at phone screens. This project can help you to reduce your neck strain in such situations. Simply pull out the suspension arm from your bag. Bend it for optimum viewing angle. Enjoy the hands-free experience.
With this project, we hope to help people reduce their neck strain and help them to lead a healthier and a life free from diseases such as Cervical,Fibromyalgia,Swallowing Problems and a lot more.
We faced a number of problems during our development phase. The phone kept slipping from the holder. As a result, we designed a more robust system to hold the phone inspired by a hair clip. Another problem we faced was that the rod kept slipping. This was fixed by adding an elastic and some pins
According to the sources the, most people view their phone at a distance of 6-8 inces only which can seriously harm your eyesight.
With our project, one can maintain a distance of 13-15 inces between the eyes and the phone thus helping in maintaining the optimum distance.
