As people use more and more computing devices, related health risks also increase. Two of the most common and severe issues related to computer work are computer-vision syndrome (eye fatigue, headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision) and a too-steep head flexion angle, often referred to as ”Text-Neck”, which can lead to headaches and in extreme cases to spinal misalignment According to medical research, users should blink often and at regular intervals (2-5 seconds) to prevent eye fatigue and dry eyes. To prevent ”Text Neck”, related work suggests that the user’s head should not have a flexion angle of 19 degrees or lower for over a minute.

J!NS MEME, prototype smart glasses that can sense head and eye movement, is designed to monitor and prevent unhealthy working habits related to both issues. The glasses use a three-point electrode setup to detect eye movements and blinks, and an accelerometer and a gyroscope to monitor head motion.
