You don't necessarily realize it, but you touch your face many times over the course of a day, almost 250 times. Gestures that seem harmless, but which nevertheless allow the transmission of bacteria and diseases. With the coronavirus epidemic spreading all over the world, reducing the number of times you touch your face can only be beneficial.
The Donottouchyourface.com site offers to help you in this task. Each time you touch your face, the site alerts you with an audio message "No! " The tool is based on a machine learning algorithm that must be configured beforehand with your webcam to notify you of your errors.
No spying, we promise ...
When you visit the site, Donottouchyourface will ask you to make two videos. The first will be a video of a few seconds in which you never touch your face. In the second, it will be the opposite. Based on these two videos, the site's artificial intelligence will determine when you touch your face and report it to you.
The objective of the site is not to spy on Internet users, but to help them reduce the number of times their hands come into contact with the face. The creators of the site also point out that the site will not prevent individuals from contracting the coronavirus, but that it could minimize the risks.
