How this page should be used

After sitting up straight and clicking on "Start video" you should click on "Capture current position" to save the current calculated proportion and vertical position of your head, and use that as a baseline. Upon clicking, the page will try to measure your movements from the webcam every 1500 milliseconds by default, and compare it to the captured values. By default, if the distance difference is greater than or equal to 4% you will be notified every 15 seconds, also by default. You can control these values on the page. If you want to recapture your position just click on the capture button again.

You might need to stop the video feed to allow other apps to use the camera. You can also hide the video output to reduce resource usage.
