Many people struggle with bad posture while working at their desks, which leads to back and neck pain, as well as other long-term health issues. It is also tough to stay focused during long periods in front of a computer, and spending hours staring at a screen can cause eye strain and headaches.
SmartStand aims to fight this posture crisis! We will create a laptop stand that users can interact with via a web app. Using the computer’s webcam, SmartStand will monitor users’ posture, and eye movement, allowing the stand to adjust to an ergonomic setting, and the app to notify users about their posture, and let them know when it’s time to look away from the screen.
