ASPIRE 2026 has wrapped. The demo hasn't.

Ten minutes, on the booth machine, on the real shipping build. Bring your hardest HF problem.

The Journey

Brisbane to Reno. 11,700 Kilometres.

BNE Brisbane · Home RNO Reno · ASPIRE 2026 11,700 KM · ONE LAPTOP BAG

The whole platform travels as carry-on. Local-first means the demo on the booth machine is the real, shipping build: no cloud behind it, no staging server, nothing mocked up. What you see on the floor is what installs on yours.

The Family

Nik. Parnia. And the Boys.

The Ergonomics Engineered family is packing up and coming to visit. Come and say g'day to all four of us.

Nik Founder

Wrote the code, runs the demos and, apparently, handles the handshakes. Every question at the booth goes straight to the engineer who built the answer.

Parnia Mission Control

The project manager behind every release. She runs the backlog, turns issues into features and work packages, and decides what ships next. If your booth slot runs like clockwork, that is her doing too.

Harry Head of Posture

ErgoSphere's in-app 3D manikin, on loan from every tool in the platform. He has held every awkward posture the toolkit can score, thousands of times, without one complaint. See him at work on the demo laptop.

Charlie The Little One

Badge on weeks early, box already packed. He is taking ASPIRE very seriously and would like you to know he is in charge of the raffle tickets.

The people who build it are the people on the booth. Ask anything, as deep as you like.

At the Booth · Number TBC

Lift a Box. Guess Your Score.

A depth camera, a live RULA score, and a raffle you enter with your own posture. The platform tour loops on screen all day, and the demo laptop is waiting when you want to go deeper.

The RULA Game

Pick up a box (an empty one, we promise) and a depth camera scores your posture on the fly: RULA and REBA, live on screen. Call your score before it lands. Nail it and you take three raffle tickets; miss and you still take one for playing.

The Raffle

Every ticket goes into the draw for twelve months of ErgoSphere. Along the way we are giving out a bit of Australia too: boomerangs, koalas, kangaroo toys, and yes, there will be pens.

Ten Minutes on the Real Build

A second laptop runs the shipping software, no cloud, no mock-ups. Book a ten-minute run-through, bring a scenario from your own work, and we will drive it through the toolkit end to end while you watch.

Can't make the booth? See it anyway.

Thirty minutes, screen to screen, on the same shipping build that runs on the booth machine. Bring a scenario from your own work and we will drive it through the toolkit end to end.

ErgoSphere is built by Ergonomics Engineered: a practising, certified Human Factors engineer (CHFEP) and former Boeing Associate Technical Fellow. Brisbane-built, veteran-owned, local-first by design.
