What is STU?
STU is a portable, compact and automatic standing table designed to interrupt sitting intervals without interrupting learning or working intervals. STU allows working on the laptop both when sitting and standing. It is portable and light so the user can carry it anywhere, locate his laptop on it and work comfortably. STU encourages working while standing, it interrupts the seating by automatically lifting the computer every half-hour for 5 minutes. By that, STU urges the user to get up and work while standing up. STU has an application that allows customisation of height, sitting and standing times, as well as tracking of STU usage data. This will most likely encourage the daily use of STU and reduce the prolonged sitting sessions, which are a major cause of significant health-related problems in the modern and western world.
