Description: The world is changing and with the evolution of technology computers have become an essential part of humans’ lives. Now adays many people use computers for both work and personal life, and especially spending hours sitting at a desk in front of their computer screens. This phenomenon negatively influences people’s health, affecting their skeletal and ocular systems. As a result, several different ergonomic solutions have been suggested to address these challenges. This paper proposes a solution which adjusts the computer screen position, elevation and orientation in order to reduce the physical load on the user and better fit it to their posture. © 2019 Association for Computing Machinery.
