Gesture control check
Test private hand gestures for future hands-free WorkPose session controls. Works with your phone camera, laptop camera, or webcam. It runs entirely in your browser and the camera feed never leaves your device.
Prop your phone at desk height for front checks, or turn it sideways for side-view posture scans. Same test, same URL, no app.
Open phone linkWhat this test measures
This check reads your gesture confidence from a short on-device camera scan and compares it against an evidence-based comfort range (35+). The model maps the joints involved and averages the angle so a single fidget doesn't skew your result.
How to read your result
Green means you're inside the healthy range. Amber means you're drifting and it's worth a small adjustment. Coral means the angle is past the comfort line for long enough to cause strain. Your number updates live, so you can watch a fix land in real time.
What to fix first
- Adjust the one input driving the biggest signal — screen height, chair depth or input distance.
- Re-run the test and watch the meter move before you change anything else.
- Set a reminder so the corrected posture becomes the default, not the exception.
When to use WorkPose Pro
One test reads one signal. If you want this checked continuously — combined with posture, eye strain and fatigue, with live nudges and a progress history — that's what Pro does. It turns a one-off number into a habit that holds.
How this hand model check works
- The gesture recognizer runs in your browser and camera data stays on your device.
- The model recognizes simple hand gestures from hand landmarks.
- WorkPose can use this later for opt-in hands-free session controls.
How to use your result
- Detected: the browser can read the gesture locally.
- Not ready: move your hand into frame and show one clear gesture.
- Use later: gesture controls could start, pause, or mark a reset during WorkPose sessions.
Why gesture controls fit WorkPose
During a posture or work session, hands-free controls can let users pause, mark a break, or start a reset without reaching for the keyboard.
Best setup
- Show one hand clearly.
- Use a simple open palm or thumbs up.
- Keep the hand away from your face for a clearer signal.
Privacy and limits
The browser camera feed stays local with no upload. The tool recognizes gestures, not personal identity.
Common questions
What gestures can it recognize?
The MediaPipe gesture model supports gestures such as open palm, closed fist, pointing up, thumbs up, thumbs down, victory, and I love you.
Does this identify me?
No. It recognizes simple hand gestures locally and does not verify identity.
Why add this to WorkPose?
It creates a privacy-first path for hands-free work-session controls and future hand-health tools.
