User at workplace
The work table consists of two table tops. An approximately 2.5 m wide board goes along the wall and sits on consoles. In the middle of the large board is a narrow board that sits on top and extends over the lower one. The hard drive stands on this section and is therefore accessible from two sides (see associated tip). The narrow board is also suspended from the ceiling (see Photo below).
The user has a Macintosh computer that he controls with a head mouse. The headset for the head mouse is suspended from the ceiling (see associated tips).
