There are not that many places that you would be able to pull this off and not look entirely foolish, that said I am sure some places of employment would benefit from such a device, I am just not sure I would want to ever have to wear one. The “hip office” from hk-ergonomics allows you to easily work on your laptop in a variety of situations without having to need an additional table. The office is made from a glass-fiber prototype that slips around your waist which rests on your hips. The sides then continue out in front making a nice “table” to rest your laptop on. According to HK, this will be good for posture, but it seems like it would also be very difficult to type, after all the computer does sit very close to your stomach.

Keep reading for a few great shot (courtesy of hk-ergonimics) of the hip office in action, we also could not help but notice that the last shot features a situation just like we imagined. A loner type individual on a laptop with no one else in site.
