Touch the screen, hold until green, then push up.The seed

Had this silly idea, You open an app / web page. You do a push up. Your nose has to touch the screen for a moment and when it changes colour or beeps you lift the push up.

Ie to make sure you are not using momentum to go back up.

Can the camera calculate how close a nose / face is to the screen?

The simplest is just rely on touch.

Thoughts.

So here’s the touch version. A little pause at the bottom, with your nose in charge of the timer.
