Start monitoring to enable posture detection.
Monitoring controls
Start monitoring opens the pop-out window automatically.
Important: keep the pop-out monitor open.
Monitoring will stop if the pop-out window is closed. Keep it open while using your laptop so alerts can continue working.
About the Project
This project presents a browser-based posture monitoring system that uses computer vision to analyse sitting posture in real time through a standard webcam. The system was developed as part of an undergraduate dissertation in Software Development and investigates whether accessible, browser-based tools can help increase awareness of everyday sitting posture.
About the Study
The study evaluates the feasibility and usability of real-time posture detection delivered directly through a web application. It explores how reliably posture can be analysed using webcam-based body landmark detection and how users respond to real-time visual feedback about their sitting posture.

Why Participation Matters
Participation helps support academic research into practical and accessible ergonomic tools. Your involvement contributes to evaluating whether browser-based posture detection can be useful, user-friendly, and effective in real-world settings.
Privacy and Ethics
Webcam frames are processed locally in the browser for real-time posture analysis. The application does not record, store, or upload webcam video. This project is intended for academic research and demonstration purposes and should not be considered a medical or diagnostic tool.
