Inspiration

We often cannot find any available workspaces on campus to work in groups. At least we must walk for a considerable time before finding a space. This is a waste of time. We must be able to do better.

What it does

Displays available and occupied tables in the common workspaces on campus.

How we built it

We built it using wireless sensors that detect the precence of people at a table.

Challenges we ran into

We have had some challenges getting the data from the sensors all the way to a web server. It turns out web development is not excactly like embedded software

What we learned

We learned about the complexity of making a web page, that interacts with the physical world.
