Ever suffered a drop in productivity at work? Fallen asleep at your desk? Or missed out on the morning coffee run? Well that could all be a thing of the past following the creation of an innovative office workstation – inspired by the technologies in the all-new Nissan Qashqai and a novel approach by Nissan engineers.The prototype crossover workstation was created following an observation by an engineer at Nissan’s European Technical Centre that the car’s technology could boost productivity in the workplace.The principles of Nissan’s Around View Monitor (AVM) and Moving Object Detection (MOD) were installed to help workers stay one step ahead of their colleagues, while the addition of the vehicle’s Driver Attention Alert (DAA) helps prevent any loss of concentration and the occasional mid-afternoon lull in productivity. The workstation also comes complete with the Qashqai’s NASA-inspired spinal seat and provides continuous support of the pelvis, lumbar, vertebra and chest. How the technology works in Nissan’s workstation:AVMActivated when the reverse gear is selected, office workers can benefit from a 360⁰ view around their MOD.MODAn audible beep will sound when a colleague approaches the desk from any direction.DAASensors in the keyboard and mouse monitor levels of productivity; if no activity is detected after five minutes, a visible and audible cue are deployed.
