Setup
Show the app how you look when you are sitting well and how you usually slump. After that, reminders are tuned to your posture, your desk, and your camera angle.
Step 1
Sit the way you want to work: relaxed, upright, and natural. Keep the camera angle you will use during the day.
Step 2
Show the position you usually drift into, so reminders fire for the pattern you actually want to change.
