Now with AI and available fantastic libraries it's possible to play safe so that your body does not pay the price of your profession. EyesRhythm is build to help you keep the blink rhythm healthy by giving small audio / visual indication to maintain healthy blink rhythm not just by monitoring healthy blink rate but also keeping a watch on how rhythmic they are.
EyeRhythm also has a visual log for the neck movement. It is also capable to automatically track the face using multiple webcams that you might have on your working desk to get the best view of your eyes for accurate blink detection.
Most importantly it works completely local no internet required.
It's still not OSS, but the repo is now public to verify what webcam does and also possibly contribute and give suggestions so that it can be improved for better cause. Hope that helps.
What do you think of making the screen black for a split second when blinking is over due?
I will note that since I started wearing contacts, I now have to blink more often in order to prevent my contacts from drying out. This acts as a sorta natural forcing function for blinking at a more healthy rate haha
Many people who work in front of a computer have dry eye which can be literally be solved by blinking more.
Great idea
Less so I can use it on my own device, but I feel this could be a lot of fun on my wife's.
