Glasses That Can Help Your Posture While Texting - i90 Glasses

Is this the end if Tech-Neck?


i90 GlassesIf you are like most of us, you pretty much have your head down as though you might be praying or sleeping. But the reality is that you are probably looking at your smartphone, reading something on it or typing into. It is not something that we probably should be doing, but that is the reality of how things are. But, what if there was a way to look straight ahead and still see the face of your smartphone that is in your lap? Would you be interested in hear more about that. The i90 Glasses may be exactly what you are looking for to help your posture and reduce that sore neck that you get.

This week's KickStarter project is the i90 Glasses which are going to help with your posture. The idea is to have you looking straight ahead and the refracted lenses having you looking down while it looks like you are looking straight ahead. This is based on the idea of a periscope with a glass frame. The head leaning forward ("tech-neck") is eliminated with this and removes your neck problems and upper back problems. This sounds like a great idea to be watching the game on your mobile device when you are with others.

We all have fallen victim to that slouch look where we are looking at a mobile device. Whether it be looking at a text, email or video, it is an uncomfortable position. While there are some other companies which have offered a similar item, none have offered one that is light and looks like a pair of glasses. The i90 Glasses have hinges on the arms of the frame and are made of aluminum which lets you make slight bends in the frame so they fit you better. When wearing glasses, it is all about comfort.

The company web site, i90 Glasses is up and running, but refers you back to the KickStarter site where you can contribute to the i90 glasses fundraising campaign. For a contribution of $75 or above you will receive your very own pair of i90 Glasses in December, though some contribution levels are delayed until March next year. The lower levels have limits on them so if you want one at the lowest contribution, you need to get over there now and contribute. Some levels do not give you a color option.

Now, if they could figure out a way for those of us who wear glasses to be able to take advantage of this, that would be fantastic. They have designed it to fit over readers, but those of us who prefer to wear glasses instead of contacts are left out. We can only wait.
