Ghost in the Machine

Описание и применение

TouchGrass AI снижает время, проведённое за экраном, предлагая короткие прогулки на свежем воздухе и проверяя наблюдения локально.

Задача

Modern developers, engineers, and desk workers spend 8–12 hours daily staring at glowing screens. During short 15‑minute breaks, cognitive fatigue and decision paralysis drive users right back into screen dopamine loops and doomscrolling.

Результат

TouchGrass AI reduces screen time during breaks by guiding users to short outdoor micro‑adventures, verifying observations locally, and keeping data private.

Рабочий процесс

• Select a time budget (5m, 15m, 30m, 60m) and an environment (park, backyard, urban, trail, waterfront).
• Generate a sensory outdoor micro‑quest with physical, off‑screen objectives.
• Enter Pocket Mode: screen dims, chime plays, phone is put away and user steps outside.
• Complete the outdoor activity and capture exactly one field photo.
• Run a local MobileNetV4 ONNX model on the CPU to classify the photo as nature/outdoor or indoor/technology.
• Record the activity and outdoor minutes in a private local SQLite journal.
