Inspiration
The rate of myopia is drastically increasing worldwide with up to half of the word's population expected to be myopic by 2050. Myopia is a significant risk factor in vision-threatening diseases. One leading cause of increased myopic rate is the increase in digital screen time and lack of eye care knowledge. Simple activities such as taking a break, or blinking more regularly can greatly reduce eye strain, helping to preserve eye health.
What it does
Educate people about the importance of good eye health care by providing a fun gaming application that trains users to gain good blinking and resting habits.
How we built it
Python, pygame and opencv.
Challenges we ran into
Balancing eye blinking rate accuracy with performance.
