Head & shoulder alignment check
See whether your head sits centered over your shoulder line from the front camera. 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 head offset from a short on-device camera scan and compares it against an evidence-based comfort range (< 7%). 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 check works
- The pose model runs in the browser and camera data stays on your device.
- The check compares nose position with the midpoint between visible shoulders.
- A shifted result is treated as a desk setup prompt, not a medical finding.
How to use your result
- Centered: your head appears aligned over your shoulders for this camera view.
- Shifted: move the screen, keyboard, or mouse closer to the side you keep reaching toward.
- Repeated shift: start a WorkPose session to see if the same desk pattern returns while you work.
Why head alignment changes
Mouse reach, off-center monitors, and laptop screens can pull your head away from your shoulder midpoint without you noticing.
Best setup for the check
- Use a front-facing camera.
- Keep both shoulders visible.
- Sit normally instead of posing.
How to use the signal
Use the result as a setup cue. If the offset changes after moving the monitor or mouse, the tool has helped identify a likely desk-layout driver.
Common questions
What does this check measure?
It compares your visible head center with the midpoint between your shoulders.
Is this a medical symmetry test?
No. It is a desk posture alignment signal for ergonomic feedback.
How do I get a clearer reading?
Face the camera, keep both shoulders in view, and run the check while sitting in your normal work position.
