One click web extension to monitor your posture!

The problem PoseTrack solves

Sitting for long hours, we have stopped bothering about the consequences it holds to adversely affect our body language and posture. With the help of a webcam and trained data that can guide us to maintain a healthy posture, we are creating a web extension that keeps an eye on us! This helps to maintain a proper posture. This is required not just to maintain our health and proper body language but will give a good impression via our body language in online meetups and classes.

Features:

  1. Cross Browser Compatibility (Tested on Firefox and Chrome)
  2. Check your anytime by a single click to enable extension
  3. Easy installation of extension
  4. Open source

Challenges we ran into

This project was challenging for us as none of us had experience with web extensions. We ran into the following hurdles:

  1. Experimenting with frontend, background and content javascript in web extensions and choosing the best suited for the project
  2. Ensuring cross browser compatibiltiy
  3. Sourcing machine learning model to the extension
  4. Configuring browser permissions to source media
