1. Problem Statement

Design of an AI-based webpage that allows users to use a machine-learning algorithm to determine whether their sitting posture is correct or not.

2. Motivation & Objectives

Things became online as a result of the Covid pandemic, including office work and student learning. Sitting in front of a computer or laptop incorrectly might cause a variety of health problems. To avoid this, we designed a system that can detect sitting posture and tell the user whether his sitting position is good or bad.

Objectives : To design and develop a posture detecting system. To integrate this system with a web page so that it is accessible to everyone. To assist users in avoiding health issues caused by improper posture

3. Project Description

Inspiration: We are all spending more and more hours at work, sitting at our desks and using our laptops for up to 10 hours each day. Making sure that you sit correctly at your workstation is so important. Setting up your laptop incorrectly negatively affects your posture. Having a poor posture has been known to have a very poor effect on mood Also it can lead to Serious health issues like

  1. Back, Neck, and Shoulder Pain
  2. Poor Circulation
  3. Impaired Lung Function
  4. Misaligned Spine
  5. Change in Curvature of the Spine And many more

How it works: When you visit the webpage, you will be asked to grant camera access. This AI-based web app will continuously capture a person's video using a webcam while they are seated in front of a laptop. Our AI algorithm will then detect body postures, and if the detected body position is unsatisfactory, the web app will alert the user. The alert appears to be a blurring of the current window with an annoying sound, stopping the user from performing anything until he returns to an ergonomically correct posture.

Accomplishments that we're proud of: Successfully completed the frontend and backend in a given period of time.

What's next for Fix-Posture: Many improvements can be done in Fix-Posture. Currently, we can use this only on a single browser tab. We are planning to convert the web app into a chrome extension so that it can be used on any tab/window.
