Safe: Set maximum capacity for any room, floor, or building

The idea is definitely cool (and important/impactful at this time if successful). That said, in the midst of a global pandemic where human density is inherently dangerous and social distancing is espoused, naming a product "Safe by Density" gives the exact opposite initial reaction you're probably hoping for.

This is a cool concept, though it appears to only care about the total number of people being below a set threshold regardless how people interact (i.e. maintain social distancing)<p>Shameless plug: two friends and I put together a small app that uses security cameras feed to calculate real-time density + estimate &quot;safe&quot; space capacity:<p>Demo video: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=RTgxhptePxM" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=RTgxhptePxM</a> Demo site: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;flou.fyi&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;flou.fyi&#x2F;</a> (takes a bit to load)

I think it could work. Heavens know, I will now have to actively avoid places that are not at least careful about how they reopen.<p>I am mildly concerned about people, who see doing the opposite as a political expression, but some things cannot be helped.

I love this idea and I love how it looks. The design is top notch. Really hope to see this near me soon.

Having seen the way people &#x27;queue&#x27; when waiting outside an eatery implementing social distancing guidelines - this only solves part of the problem.<p>Edit: Perhaps integrating it with some sort of QR Code based ticketing system for entry would alleviate the issues of people queueing (or huddling) outside the store?

So ... how does it work, given that 2m is not enough, and the distance of 10m is thought to be more likely? :)

I could not find whether this integrates with NFPA etc. to help interpret blueprints (or simplified diagrams). While determining capacity is relatively easy, it could definitely be easier.

Interesting, but I&#x27;m skeptical it could make some semblance of normal life &quot;safe&quot; purely through occupancy counts. It also seems like a likely very expensive solution to something that could be solved with a handheld clicker. Corporate offices might splurge for it, but they&#x27;re also more likely to just have people working from home.

A phone app could replace this right? Using the front facing camera you could run some image recognition to count the flow of people and show the statistics on screen. Put the phone on a stand and leave it running. Much cheaper.

How do these devices actually work?

Viruses don&#x27;t care about how many people are in a room, and this doesn&#x27;t seem like something people are going to worry about much 10 years down the road.

I am sad about how far apart we&#x27;re growing as people due to virus that is no more scary than the flu.
