We use deep learning methods for detecting poor body postures in pictures and live video streams. The direct feedback by IoT-devices and the feedback history in our application enable the users to self-assess and improve their body posture.

Used platforms, gadgets: Heroku, Raspberry Pi, LEDs

Trick people into ethical behavior

Idea description:

How much does your behavior impact the planet? See for yourself and tend to your own little pet planet earth. We collect a mixture of data from IOT devices and external APIs, as well as manual input.
