Snoozer uses your webcam to capture your face and the Tensorflow.js face landmark detection model to detect when you're dozing off. It's easy to install and use: simply add Snoozer to Chrome, and it'll create a minimizable popup that will keep you on your toes as you use the web.
Rest your eyes for a few seconds too long, and receive a nasty jumpscare that'll shock you awake and back to productivity. Feel the weight of shame as your snooze counter goes up each time you doze off in a Snoozer session. In a lecture or meeting? No worries, you can toggle quiet mode. Get too used to Snoozer's default sounds and images like your morning alarm? Upload your own files in settings.
Snoozer is a machine learning project that humorously addresses a plight that affects many students and employees, but simultaneously criticizes hustle culture and the toxicity of an environment that prioritizes productivity over health. Inspired by real-world digital surveillance tools used in schools and workplaces, Snoozer explores the trade-off between privacy and propriety. Despite seeming innocuous or even helpful for maintaining focus, it exacerbates the underlying issue of overworking to the point of exhaustion.
Get Snoozer from the Chrome Web Store here! Happy Snoozing~
