SpecBoot — AI Powered Eye Protection Assistant

SpecBoot is an AI-powered desktop assistant designed to remind users to wear spec/glasses while using their laptop.

The application automatically starts when the system turns on or wakes from sleep, temporarily accesses the webcam, detects whether the user is wearing glasses using AI, and alerts the user if glasses are not detected.

Once the glasses are detected, the alarm stops automatically and the camera closes.

Just a reminder to wear the specs....

Inspiration

While working on projects, coding, designing, and spending long hours in front of a screen, I often forgot to wear my glasses.

Almost every day I used to hear:

“Wear your specs while using the laptop.”

Even after being reminded multiple times, I kept forgetting it repeatedly.

That made me think:

“Why not create something that reminds me automatically?”

Instead of creating a normal reminder application, I wanted to build something smarter — an AI assistant that could actually verify whether I was wearing my glasses or not.

That idea eventually became SpecBoot.

Build Desktop Application

npm run build

After running the build command, the executable file will be generated in the dist folder. You can run the executable to start using SpecBoot.

Reminder: Disable the electron.exe build in the Task manager to avoid the pop up window of the electron and direct opening of the SpecBoot application.
