Abstract
Use of a laptop, tablet or other electronic device within a vehicle or other mode of transportation is often made difficult due to vibration, bumps and sudden turns. A vibration cancelling platform provides stabilization to an electronic device used during transportation. A platform may be comprised of a top housing and a bottom housing which may slide laterally relative to each other in order to stabilize a user's electronic device resting upon the top housing. Low friction sliding components such as rollers, bearing or other components help to reduce or prevent the environmental movement experienced by the bottom housing from being transmitted to the upper housing. Spring elements secured between the top and bottom housings further assist in reducing vibration and act to stabilize the top housing in a centralized position. Optional mouse pads extend from the platform by use of specially configured low friction sliding mechanisms.
