How does it work?
The STU product operates with a mechanism driven by Arduino which rotates a screw that causes the opening of the structure on which the laptop is placed on.
First, the user places the laptop on STU product, with the default being that on every half hour STU will rise for five minutes. STU is connected to a mobile app, which tracks the use of STU and displays data in graph that assist with monitoring the user’s progress. STU is 3D printed and comes in a classic hard box that protects it and allows carrying it in any bag.
