What is the Desk Posture Checker?
Sit at your desk, press Start camera and tap 'Set my good posture' while sitting properly. The checker learns your own best posture, then watches your head and shoulders through the webcam. If you start slouching, your head drifts forward, your shoulders become uneven, your head tilts or you lean in close to the screen, it tells you with a short message and optional voice alert.
Because the measurements are taken in 3D relative to your own shoulder width, it works from any webcam position. It shows the percentage of time you sat well and can remind you every 20 to 60 minutes to stand up and stretch.
