Smartfish Technologies Introduces Long-Awaited ErgoMotion Technology
NEW YORK - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Today, Smartfish Technologies launched its long-awaited ErgoMotion(TM)
technology, the first ever design that combines the science of
ergonomics with the technology of motion, resulting in a dramatic change
and improvement in the way comfort is integrated into devices like mice
and keyboards. Unveiled yesterday at Pepcom's annual Wine, Dine and Demo
event, ErgoMotion is the industry's most advanced computer peripheral
solution designed to relieve discomfort and repetitive stress injuries
(RSI) related to extended computer usage. Smartfish worked with product
design engineers and medical specialists to develop ErgoMotion,
combining ergonomics and movement features that transcend the
conventional ergonomic solutions on the market today.
Smartfish's patented ErgoMotion technology heralds a new generation of
ergonomic solutions that promote comfort and productivity for a wide
range of computer users during long hours of daily usage, whether at
work or at home. ErgoMotion enables computer peripherals to
automatically adjust to the user's natural hand and wrist positions
throughout the day, providing for a more comfortable, healthier, and
enjoyable computer lifestyle.
"ErgoMotion is based on the concept that motion heals," said Dr. Jack
Atzmon, president and CEO of Smartfish Technologies. "Up until this
point, there has been no true solution for the inherent problem of
discomfort and injury caused by repetitive use of computer input
devices. The mobile designs of our ErgoMotion products not only prevent
discomfort and injury of hands and wrists, they also provide for
increased productivity and a better overall user experience."
Smartfish also announced general availability of the ErgoMotion Mouse,
its first product offering based on ErgoMotion technology. The
ErgoMotion Mouse is not just an ergonomic device, but a groundbreaking
new design with a sleek curvature and pivot base. The ErgoMotion Mouse
is the first laser mouse for the PC that features a patented swivel
mechanism to promote a fluid movement, allowing the mouse to intuitively
adapt to the user's hand position. ErgoMotion technology enables
forward, backward and lateral pivots, creating a wave-like movement for
the wrist every time the mouse is in use.
The ErgoMotion Mouse boasts a sleek design with chrome detailing, and
features both left and right click, four-way scroll wheel and a discreet
wireless USB plug-in. The device is compatible with MACs and PCs, and
features an ambidextrous design for both right and left-handed users.
This unique design adapts to any user's individual movements while using
the computer to alleviate discomfort and to provide a more enjoyable
experience.
"The ErgoMotion Mouse is not just another computer peripheral - it
combines optimal ergonomic functionality with state-of-the art
industrial design to provide comfort and aesthetics," said John
Moldauer, principal of p9 design. "This truly is a game-changing product
that people will demand to use all the time once they try it out."
Smartfish will also display the ErgoMotion Mouse at the International
Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which recently named the company as a
CES Innovation Award Honoree. The Award recognizes the most innovative
consumer electronics products in the industry's hottest product
categories. Attendees can view the ErgoMotion Mouse at CES in January
2010 in the Innovations Design and Engineering Awards Showcase.
Product Availability
The Smartfish ErgoMotion Mouse is available immediately, priced at
$49.95, both online at www.getsmartfish.com,
and through Amazon.com.
About Smartfish Technologies
Smartfish Technologies was founded on a passion for healthier living,
smart technology and true ergonomic innovation in an ever-growing
electronic world. As a practicing chiropractor of 14 years, Smartfish
president and CEO Dr. Jack Atzmon met with thousands of patients who
continually complained of hand, wrist, shoulder and back pain. Through
extensive knowledge of repetitive stress injury (RSI) - common forms
known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, he began to understand that a key
contributor to these ailments came from the day-to-day use of computers
- specifically, repetitive motion of computer peripheral use.
Dr. Atzmon's vision and breakthrough technology led him to form
Smartfish Technologies and launch a line of computer peripherals based
on the company's ErgoMotion technologies, beginning with the ErgoMotion
Mouse, to promote a healthy PC lifestyle for work and play. For more
