Thank you for your feedback. We respectfully have to vehemently disagree I'm afraid. I feel that some of your analogies are somewhat odious and don't really make sense in the grand scheme of things - to me - but we can agree to di

@othercharles Not to worry - no offense taken. That's the thing though... Not one person who has seen and used this in person responded in ways you've mentioned. We've also had very positive feedback and suggestions from arou

This is literally one of the primary reasons this was designed. Imagine having to monitor several instances of PRTG, Solarwinds, Vectra AI all at the same time and action multiple issues for multiple customers. All while sometimes spending

We think the priority needs to be AR. The ability to see your surroundings is crucial. We have also have some ideas around this that we are hoping to demonstrate next year.

Glad we were able to make you smile! We are currently prioritising refining out latest prototypes. However we will have video demos up soon!

We customise the keyboard as required. The current keyboard in the Aurora 7 is not mechanical.

Thermals are actually not bad at all. However it is better to use the Aurora 7 on a desk.

Thanks for the feedback. We investigated the 3 landscape screen orientation but decided that 2x 17.3 4K Panels in portrait orientation is excellent for coding when paired with 2x 17.3 4K landscape. It also takes up less horizontal space. Th

Not quite. The designs are only part of the picture. We care mostly about utility. We're quite fedup with this trend of unsustainable, premature obsoletion [1] that is the current norm for hardware. Our design philosophy is very simple

Believe it or not there are alternatives to our Aurora 7 prototype but those are too large to fit in standard backpack. They usually consist of monitors bolted on to a standard desktop chassis and don't feature integrated batteries. Th

Our prototypes are definitely geared towards day traders. We have had a lot of feedback from individuals in the finance industry and as such we are refining our prototypes accordingly.
