1. A computer system for providing real-time feedback about a user'"'"'s posture, comprising:
- an environmental module for determining a subject physical environment;
a biomechanical module for determining at least a portion of a user'"'"'s posture in the determined subject physical environment; and
an output module for providing to the user a real-time indication of the determined user'"'"'s posture relative to a target correct posture associated with the determined subject physical environment, the target correct posture being in accord with a standardized posture for the determined subject physical environment.
