A device typically constructed from plastic, metal, or wood, provides an angled platform for supporting a calculator. This elevated positioning improves visibility and reduces neck and eye strain, particularly during extended periods of use. Examples include adjustable models suitable for various calculator sizes and fixed designs optimized for specific models.
Ergonomic design plays a significant role in enhancing workplace productivity and comfort. By facilitating a more natural viewing angle, these platforms can contribute to reduced musculoskeletal discomfort and improved focus. Historically, as calculators became ubiquitous in offices and educational settings, the need for improved ergonomics led to the development and popularization of such supportive devices.
