Density uses occupancy sensors and software to show how people use physical spaces.
What Density is
Density uses occupancy sensors and software to show how people use physical spaces. Its products cover meeting rooms, open spaces, phone booths, and desks, while Atlas provides occupancy and visit analytics for workplace, hospitality, education, and airport lounge settings. Atlas presents data in 15-minute increments, with building and floor views, custom operating hours, flexible timeframes, and downloadable charts and data.
The Waffle sensor reports counts of 0, 1, 2, or 3+ people, with real-time and historical data available through an API. Its listed specifications include dual-band Wi-Fi with WPA2 PSK, an adjustable 18-foot range, and less than one second of data latency. Developers can access live data through WebSockets, and the API can supply live availability to booking and workplace apps. Density says its radar sensors do not use cameras or capture, store, or interpret personally identifiable information, and do not track identities. Platforms include API, iOS, and web.
