The mat looks like a standard office floor mat. It goes under a desk. Workers stand or sit on it. Hidden sensors inside feel pressure. They know when someone sits still for too long. The mat then gives a reminder. It does not make loud noises. A gentle vibration happens under the feet. Small lights on the mat’s edge also glow softly. This signals it is time to stand up or take a quick break.

Users can change the settings. They decide how long to sit before a reminder happens. This might be 30 minutes or 60 minutes. A simple phone app controls the timing. The mat uses a rechargeable battery. It connects to the app wirelessly.

Sony engineers noticed many people forget to move. Long meetings and focused work keep them seated. This new mat offers a physical nudge. It promotes better habits without being annoying. Health experts agree short movement breaks are important. They improve blood flow and energy. They also help focus and comfort.
