"Designed as an entry for the RIMOWA Design Prize, Calmix is an ergonomic mouse that also doubles as a fitness wearable. I use the term wearable extremely loosely here, because you don't really wear a mouse, but your hands rest on it for such long sessions it might as well just be as good as one."
"Equipped with high-precision sensors and a low-energy processor crunching data from said sensors, the CalmiX tries to be a productivity device that also keeps you in the loop regarding your stress levels at work."
"The mouse lets you know your heart rate in real-time, allowing you to sense spikes in tension or stress while work. While the mouse won't do anything to calm you down, it does let you know when to step back and maybe take a break from work."
CalmiX is an innovative peripheral device that combines a computer mouse with health monitoring capabilities. Designed by Julius Münzenmaier for the RIMOWA Design Prize, it addresses workplace stress affecting 41% of employees globally. The ergonomic mouse features integrated sensors that monitor heart rate in real-time and display readings on a side-mounted screen. With a design similar to the Logitech MX Master 3s, it includes a haptic scroll surface and lateral controls. The device enables users to recognize stress spikes during work and identify optimal moments for breaks, promoting better workplace wellness without actively reducing stress.
