‘Smart Sensors’ Could Track Social Distancing In The Workplace
Businesses are trying to figure out how to stay safe in the workplace due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
One solution could be ‘smart sensors that track social distancing. A company called PointGrab has developed sensors that can track the location of people inside a building, and set up alerts when people come closer than six feet.
The company has already deployed more than 10,000 sensors to date, which are roughly the size of a smoke alarm. However, some are concerned that the sensors could violate employee’s privacy.
Is it worth it to keep people safe, or too much of a privacy violation? Take a look for yourself.
