Lumina Desk – digital desk for health and productivity

This is a really cool product. What's the cost going to look like? Also, is Linux support feasible - even unofficially?

Really cool!

What's the developer platform for the desk going to look like? Seems it works for both Mac and PC, but what OS is the desk itself running? Or is it just acting as an external monitor? If so, whats the developer interface look like?

Social feeds on your desk. For more “productivity”?

Looks very slick. I'm not sure I understand why I'd want stock prices and social feeds on my desk though, but I guess that's configurable. I imagine this is a personal preference thing, but I've never really understood the appeal of having task lists and such in my face all the time, whether it be on a watch or a widget on my phone home screen or wherever. If I'm managing tasks, I'll open up my task list and then shove it out of my way. If there's something timely, I'll get a notification, etc. The idea of an always-on or even available-at-a-glance task list or any similar information source just doesn't make much sense to me. Even looking at my wrist while I'm at my desk arguably takes longer than cmd + tab to whichever app on my desktop contains my tasks.

I really do hate to seem so negative about something that does seem quite cool, but I feel that in general, there's a kind of addictive, porny aspect to productivity and workspace hacking type stuff, whereby people spend an inordinate amount of time and energy trying to optimize things that really are the least in need of optimization. Weather? Available at a glance on all my devices which I'm always near. Stocks? Don't wanna see 'em, but if I did, also available at a glance. Ditto for tasks as I mentioned above.

In fact, it seems to me that my desk is one of the few, physical, tactile pieces of "equipment" in my workspace that is free from any digital interference and I'd much prefer to keep it that way.

It's just very hard for me to imagine how I don't _lose_ rather than gain focus or productivity by sticking more information in my face while I'm working.

Am I missing something?

Still, congrats on a very sharp looking product launch (is it launched?)!

This looks great!

One problem I've noticed is that with my adjustable desk (Jarvis) I found that following guides on "proper pose" the correct height of my desk is 26 inches when sitting down (and I'm not short), while this has a minimum height of 30 inches.

Are you planning to add an extended range option?
