Webcam lighting check
Check whether camera visibility is clear enough for reliable browser scans. 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 visibility from a short on-device camera scan and compares it against an evidence-based comfort range (65+). 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 uses visible landmark confidence as a practical proxy for camera clarity.
- A low signal usually means improving front light, reducing glare, or moving into view before running another scan.
How to use your result
- Visibility steady: your camera view is clear enough for this browser check.
- Needs reset: add front-facing light, reduce bright backlight, and keep the camera steady.
- Run camera setup score next if you also want face centering and camera angle feedback.
Why lighting matters
Camera-based tools need visible landmarks. Poor lighting or strong backlight can make posture and face checks less reliable.
Best setup
- Use light from in front of you.
- Avoid bright windows behind you.
- Keep face and shoulders visible.
Privacy and limits
The browser camera feed stays local with no upload. This is not a professional webcam benchmark.
Common questions
Does this measure exact brightness?
No. It uses camera landmark visibility as a practical readiness signal.
Can this help before video calls?
Yes. It can catch low light, backlight, or poor camera visibility before a call or scan.
Does WorkPose upload my video?
No. The check runs in your browser and no camera video is uploaded.
