Automated ergonomics system using computer vision.

In today's digital world, the usage of computers is inevitable. Poor posture, prolonged exposure to computer screens has been causing a lot of health impacts to everyone who is spending a considerable amount of time in front of the computer screen. Ergonomics is a branch of science that aims to reduce strain, stress, and injury through optimizing workstation design. In this project, certain computer ergonomic designs are employed digitally to mitigate the health effects. We use computer vision to keep the users more health aware while using the computers by keeping track of various factors like the distance between the user's face and the screen, and the user's sitting posture. Also, the famous 20-20-20 rule is implemented digitally which prevents the users from constantly looking at the computer screen by inverting the concept of screen proctoring. The user is motivated to physically move away from the screen at a user-defined time interval by preventing the user from proceeding with his task until the camera detects no person in front of the desk for a certain time-period. The user will be able to track all these activities in a dashboard where all data is visualized in the form of charts and graph. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
