Abstract
A device and a method whereby a computer user seated at a first predetermined position can be provided with a continuous visual indication of the user'"'"'s spinal posture with respect to the computer monitor. A device is provided which shows either a first indication or a second indication, as a function of the angle at which it is viewed by the user. The first indication is indicative of a viewing angle with a most preferred spinal posture, and the second indication is indicative of a viewing angle with a less preferred spinal posture. The device is placed in a second predetermined position on the computer monitor, so that the user will see either the first or the second indication, depending on whether the user is currently seated with the most preferred or the less preferred spinal posture. Alternatively, an indicator or an appearance exhibited by the device may depend on the angle at which it is viewed by the viewer, rather than the user'"'"'s spinal posture per se.
