Abstract

Disclosed herein is a device comprising a user interface. The device is configured for facilitating correcting of a posture of a user based on an interaction between the user and the device through the user interface. Further, the device comprises at least one sensor configured for generating sensor data based on a spatial attribute of the device in relation to the user. Further, the device comprises a processing device configured for comparing the sensor data based on at least one predetermined criterion of the spatial attribute and generating a command based on the comparing of the sensor data. Further, the device comprises a storage device configured for storing the at least one predetermined criterion. Further, the device comprises an output indication device configured for generating at least one indication based on the command.
