DEVELOPMENT OF VISIONGUARD : CHILD-SAFE TV VIEWING DISTANCE SYSTEM WITH ESP32

Abstract

Children nowadays likes to sit close to television, which may cause eye strain, discomfort, and even contribute to vision issues such as myopia. For parents, maintaining a safe viewing distance can be difficult without constant supervision, this let us know need for an automated approach.This Project introduces a Child Distance Monitoring System utilizing an ESP32 microcontroller and ultrasonic sensors to measure how close the child is sitting and buzzer sounds when distance is too close. The target of this project is to encourage healthier screen habits by providing real-time feedback through sensor- based detection.This research examines the effects of viewing distance on children's eye health and evaluates the feasibility of using electronic systems to help control and maintain a safe distance from television.
