Before he was the 44th president of the United States, and the first African American to hold the office, Barack Obama came off the bench for the Punahou School team that won Hawaii's 1979 state basketball championship. He went on to become the first Black president of the Harvard Law Review, a US senator for Illinois and, in 2009, months into his first term, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Basketball never left him: pickup games were a fixture of his campaigns and of his eight years in the White House.
The scan records 185 cm and 90 kg with body fat around 22%, in the ordinary range for men of his generation rather than an athlete's. The height is the basketball part of the story; the rest is the build of a man who kept up a near-daily workout through the presidency, but whose day job was never sport.

A visual estimation of the areas of your body with a higher likelihood of containing more fat than others -- not a measurement. This feature is experimental; treat the heatmap as an indication, not a clinical finding. Accuracy is best at the extremes of body-fat percentage, weaker in the middle, and atypical body shapes (athletic builds, pregnancy, etc.) may not be modelled well.
| Metric | Value vs reference | Reference | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lateral lean?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | +1.8° | 0° = vertical (frontal knees-to-head axis) | natural — upright |
| Head forward offset?Accurate to about ±1-2 cm in a single scan -- camera tilt and head rotation (looking up / down / sideways) are the main confounders. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, look straight ahead and keep the camera level while scanning. | Upload a side picture to get this metric | 0 = ear in line with the spine axis (no forward head) | — |
| Forward/back lean?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | Upload a side picture to get this metric | 0° = vertical (side knees-to-head axis) | — |
| Shoulder tilt?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | +3.2° | 0° = level (frontal) | natural — right shoulder low |
| Hip tilt?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | 0.0° | 0° = level (frontal) | natural — balanced |

BodyWHAT uses its own proprietary, neural-network-based technology to estimate your body-fat percentage and other body-composition metrics directly from your photos. These in-house models are combined with established anthropometric methods; the published methods and reference ranges below inform and calibrate those estimates.
