TAKE OUR POSTURE TEST:
Poor posture will cause chronic pain in your neck, back or shoulders!

The concept of this project is good posture in front of a computer. Because people are staying more indoors from the pandemic, they are in front of their computers more. Being hunched over your computer for hours at a time is unhealthy and bad for your back. The webcam of your computer constantly checks for your posture from the front gives feedback.

How it works?
We had our five group members submit photos of themselves in front of a computer with good and bad posture from a front view and a side view. Bad posture was categorized by a hunched back and a face that was less visible. Good posture was a straight back with a clearly visible face. Because a single webcam has a hard time determining how straight a back is, it relies more on other factors such as how visible the face is or how much of the top of the head is showing.

Some of the challenges we faced during making this project was sharing sample photos through the teachable machine website. So we used google drive instead.
