Slouchy uses your webcam to check if you're slouching and alert you if you are. This project is still in active development and not feature complete.

You need to install the following system-wide:

• Python 2.7
• Qt4 and PyQt4
• OpenCV 2 or 3
• OpenCV-Python

On Debian-based distros the below apt-get should work:

apt-get install python2.7 python2.7-dev libqt4-core libqt4-dev opencv-data libopencv-core2.4 libopencv-dev python-opencv

pip2 install -r requirements.txt

brew tap homebrew/science

brew install python qt pyqt opencv

pip install -r requirements.txt

Tweak slouchy.ini to your liking.

Run python2 slouchy.py

Sit upright in front of your webcam.

While sitting upright, right click on the Slouchy icon in your system tray and choose setup.

Slouchy will now alert you if you're slouching
