AI Metrics and Evaluation

UX designer Olesya Chernyavskaya's (@monolesan) created a Glitch app to fix your posture by simply blurring your screen if you don’t maintain good form. It checks your position using your webcam, and uses TensorFlow to evaluate whether your posture is correct.

This awesome app uses TensorFlow to make sure you're sitting up straight (my worst nightmare!). The main site has a technical explanation, and because it's hosted on @glitch, you can see the code that went into it. It doesn't store any user information, either!

@glitch @ezra_mechaber @olesya_san Maybe building this as a dapp on Blockstack would solve the whole issue of "webcam always on" privacy concern since the data will all be stored on the blockstack user's ID own server and not on any other public server. Just a thought.

@glitch @ezra_mechaber @olesya_san @slamboogie88 That's not a solution. Doesn't mean other data are sent elsewhere other than the blockchain + storing lots of data on the blockchain is always a terrible idea

@glitch @ezra_mechaber @olesya_san @slamboogie88 @andrea_taglia Federated learning migth be the answer about data privacy concern

Nice concept. Would be nice to make it into a Chrome extension, so it can blur any screen the user is currently on.

Really nice concept and idea! But obviously the app needs the webcam on all the time. That's a hard no from me 😔

@ardayuceler what is your concern?

@ardayuceler @pradeep_io privacy issues apparently? Even security implications, if you work for a company with whiteboards behind your seat.

You are trying to solve a great problem. One thing I don't understand is why is the camera recording? I suspect it is recording me and my surroundings. I didn't see any permissions I had to agree to. Similar to what FaceApp did with millions of people.

Wouldn't it be so irritating to see my screen getting blurred every now and then. One might just stop using it altogether due to the constant distraction it poses, atleast in the initial days of use when one is not used to maintaining a really good posture. Thoughts anyone?

It sounds great and all, but I can't seem to get it to work. I click on "Start" nothing happens, not in Chrome, Safari, Firefox nothing. Any suggestions?

I love this, great example of good design. With that being said, I think solutions like this are built on a flawed assumption though. Our bodies are made to move so the "best position is your next position". Solutions like this reward you for staying in one position for long periods of time, which probably will do more harm than good.

@kalle_aleksander_moen Exactly what I thought when I saw this! A standing desk and changing between standing and sitting regularly will probably do a lot more for you.
