Would you use AI to correct your posture?
We use software to track everything from sleep to macros, but our physical environment is still mostly "dumb" hardware. I am interested in the possibility of AI terminals that optimize our work environment on the fly. A system that tracks your movement patterns and adjusts desk height or monitor angles could reduce the micro-fatigue that reduces productivity by the afternoon.
Instead of you adjusting to a static desk, a 6-axis arm could theoretically track your head position and nudge the screen to keep your neck aligned. It is an interesting shift from passive ergonomics to active correction. If a terminal can detect when you are slouching and physically shift to encourage a better position, it might be more effective than just buying a better chair. I mean, for one thing, my eyes would not hurt if this were to happen.
I tried finding out views on this particular topic and mostly people say AI is bad and mindfulness should be the reason that someone corrects their posture. My own feelings are that it takes discipline to develop healthy habits and that is something I am sorely lacking. AI supported robotic terminals are a shortcut that I am currently looking into. What do you guys think?
