In an innovative twist on traditional office furniture, YouTube creator Work From Hype is currently working on a project named Glow Desk Version 1.0. This smart desk is being designed without the use of desk gadgets or fancy props.

The initial testing for this project is taking place on the unboxing desk, with plans to move it to the main office desk in the near future. The projector used in this project is an overhead model, which is connected to an articulated arm for flexibility.

The design of the Glow Desk is quite unique. It features a glowing box surrounding the keyboard and mouse, created using a projected image. This gives the desk a futuristic and sleek look.

To make the desk even smarter, custom widgets have been designed to display a variety of information. These include To-Do Lists, Notes, real-time weather updates, music player controls, and a system performance widget.

However, the projector used in the Glow Desk has a resolution of 1280x720p, which is somewhat limited. This results in text elements appearing blurred. To compensate for this, the main lights need to be turned off, and the blinds closed to ensure the projected image is clear and easy to read.

The maker of the Glow Desk is using Photoshop and a mini PC running Windows 11 to design and manage the various elements of the project. While the specific details about the maker and the type of projector used are not currently available, the project is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the world of smart workspaces.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Glow Desk Version 1.0 as Work From Hype continues to refine and improve this innovative smart desk design.
