The feet sensors along with the posture dots provide feedback to the student when their feet are not making good contact with the floor. When your feet are planted on the floor you have better body posture and attention to the task at hand.
The dots on the back of Daniel measure his posutre while writing. When a student is sitting and ready to begin writing (with good posture) the camera will send the picture to the computer and once the dots are clicked, a record of the students correct posture is made. If the student at any time moves out of position feedback will be provided to them that they are no longer in the correct position and need to readjust to maintain good posture for writing.



When students press to hard on thier pencil while writing thier hand tends to fatigue faster then students who apply appropriate pencil pressure. The device here will provide students feedback when they are pressing to hard so they can change thier pressure and increase written production.
