Posture Pal — Real-Time Posture Corrector
Computer vision posture tracking device with real-time haptic/mist feedback.
Hardware & Computer Vision
The problem
Desktop workers unconsciously slouch for hours, and passive on-screen reminder notifications are easily ignored.
The constraint
Lighting and sitting angles vary across workspaces; landmark vectors must be normalized to prevent false triggers when a user simply adjusts their chair.
What I built
A Python computer vision pipeline using MediaPipe pose estimation to track neck-to-shoulder angles, sending serial pulses to an Arduino-controlled mist solenoid.
The outcome
A functioning physical desktop prototype providing tangible, immediate posture feedback.
