The sensor-laden suit will feature three forms of sensory feedback: surround sound, vibration and STIMS (which will allow the suit to contract particular muscles).

In contrast to the traditional mouse, which uses the flexors to generate pushing force, this mouse demands that clicking is accomplished through use of the extensors, the muscles used to open the hands.

The new computer monitor will keep a 'eye' on the user, providing feedback to encourage better ergonomics. The monitor will keep track of the user's posture and distance from the monitor, as well how long it has been since the user's last break, and will send alerts through small icons at the bottom of the screen. It will also turn off the monitor if it senses the user is not present, cutting energy consumption by up to 80%.
