The Viewing Distance Monitor

YOUNG ZHANG

Project Description

As we enter the era of technological advancements, our lives are becoming more convenient and connected than ever before. However, the health problems caused by technology must be addressed. In daily life, many people have the unhealthy habit of staring at screens for prolonged periods of time, which can lead to various health issues. These problems arise from two main issues: prolonged screen time and improper distance between the eyes and screen.
To address these issues, I have designed a distance monitoring system. This computer-vision-based system monitors the viewing distance of users in real-time and alerts them to maintain a healthy distance from the screen through prompts.
