Pupillary

Pupillary is an interesting tool for anyone who spends long hours in front of a screen. You know, working behind a desk can be tough on your body. It may sound great to some folks, but trust me, health problems can creep in even if you’re not lifting heavy things on a construction site.

Common Issues from Screen Time

One of the biggest complaints is back pain. It's no joke! Plus, when you're staring at your computer for too long, it can really mess with your focus and productivity. But wait, there's more! Your eyes take a hit too. The bright light from screens can lead to eye soreness and even chronic eye disease.

How Pupillary Helps

This is where Pupillary comes in as a helpful solution for your eye troubles and productivity woes. The way it works might seem a little different than what you’d expect.

The Tech Behind It

Pupillary uses your webcam or laptop camera to keep an eye on how your eyes are doing. Yep, it’s techy! It uses Artificial Intelligence to track your eye health and posture. Then it gives you scores based on this data—kind of like getting grades but for your eyes!

A Word of Caution

If you’re someone who doesn't like being watched all the time, then this app might not be for you.

Language Barrier Issues

One thing that can be super annoying about Pupillary is that it starts off in German by default. Switching to English should be easy peasy, but here’s the catch: there’s a nag screen that blocks access to the app until you make that switch!

A Quick Fix

To avoid getting stuck with that pesky screen, just launch the app and quickly hit the settings button (it looks like three lines inside a circle).

More Than Just Scores?

Besides checking out those scores, there isn’t much else to do with the app. You can read “The science” section found in settings which gives some medical info about eye issues.

Final Thoughts

In summary, Pupillary seems like an intriguing way to keep tabs on your eye health. However, it's clear that this project still has room for improvement when it comes to functionality and design.
