How does SuperShrimp detect and analyze my posture in real-time?
SuperShrimp uses your computer's webcam and on-device AI algorithms to continuously analyze your posture. It processes video frames locally to determine your sitting position and provides a real-time score from 0 to 100, indicating how well you are sitting.
What kind of data does SuperShrimp collect or store, and how is my privacy protected?
SuperShrimp is designed with privacy in mind. It runs entirely locally on your computer using on-device AI. No images or video data are captured, stored, or sent over the internet. The application does not require an internet connection for posture detection, ensuring your webcam data remains private.
Can I use SuperShrimp on multiple computers or operating systems with a single license?
A single SuperShrimp license is valid for one device. However, it is cross-platform compatible, meaning you can download and use the appropriate version for macOS, Windows, or Linux on that licensed device.
How does the gamification system, like earning XP and shrimp evolution, work to encourage better posture?
For every minute you maintain good posture, you earn experience points (XP). Accumulating XP allows your 'shrimp' character to evolve through 10 different levels, providing a visual representation of your progress and a motivational incentive to sit correctly. There's also a leaderboard to compete with other users.
What happens if my posture drops while I'm focused on other tasks or have the app minimized?
SuperShrimp runs silently in the background. If your posture drops below an acceptable level, a non-intrusive notification will pop up. This allows you to quickly see your current posture and correct it without needing to constantly monitor the application window.
