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 for an electronic device while being used in a moving vehicle. A platform may comprise 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 linear slides or rollers 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. The platform may comprise two or more sections that slide open and expand the platform size to accommodate laptops of different sizes.
