General Information

BOOM – The Boom IT integrator Userfull has developed a Focus Booth together with Bene Office Furniture. This is a small space in which knowledge workers can completely isolate themselves in a setting where they can fully concentrate.

Userfull was looking for a solution for the overdose of input that knowledge workers in the office often suffer from, with negative effects on productivity: e-mails, phones, whatsapps, social media updates …”True to our innovation-oriented corporate culture, we focused on the question of how technology can play a facilitating role in this story. We found the answer in the focus booth “, says Steven Schoovaerts of Userfull. “This is a space in which knowledge workers can completely isolate themselves in a setting that creates a state of concentration for them whereby they can focus their attention entirely on getting a large assignment such as a quotation, analysis or report.”With a click of the mouse you can conjure up an atmosphere of your choice on the screens that surround you: a forest with birds singing, a tea house with Japanese music, a beach with rushing waves …

 Focus

Neuropsychologist and expert in attention management Every Geeraerts is already enthusiastic about the prototype: “When you enter the booth, you condition your brain to say: now you are going to really focus for one or two hours and you will resist all those distractors to that one priority. I think that many companies want to install this on the work floor in the future, because attention has become our new IQ and our attention is being challenged enormously. This booth is the perfect place to unwind. ”

For the creation, Userfull worked together with specialist in working environments Bene Office Furniture, who also set up the new office building of Userfull.

The prototype was well received and will now be further developed. “Because the focus booth removes the boundaries of the physical location where you are located, we also want to further develop the possibility of working together internationally with colleagues. Unlike video or teleconferencing, the three screens in the booth create the feeling that you are sitting in the same room with your colleagues. And with one click you are back in your own favorite relaxing setting. ”
