> It’s an application which detects people looking at your screen. The aim is to keep you safe from shoulder surfing, utilising your webcam to give you the power to prevent snoopers.

When is this ever a problem that cannot be solved by positioning yourself with a wall behind you or going somewhere private? This feels like overkill for the stated use-case. I can imagine someone thinking they might need this to do private stuff in a public space (a coffee shop?), but they'd turn paranoid from everyone passing by just glancing around.

Also, is this a realistic threat model anywhere? People snooping by standing behind you tend to be colleagues or totally random passers-by; not people actually interested in gleaning private information. Anything more serious than logging into your Facebook account would imply simply having proper OpSec procedures (like: 'only do this in private').

All I can think of is employee monitoring where such tools will just end up making people insecure in their workplace (and less productive, because gazing out of a window or into nothingness actually helps when you are doing work which requires pondering; and less healthy, because looking away from your screen into the distance is recommended for anyone with working eyes).
