INTRODUCTION
Our selected opportunity was to create/design a system that would allow students at the University of Toronto to be able to find vacant study spots/locations easier, avoiding the hassle of wandering around from one building to another.
PROTOTYPE
To demonstrate the layout of the motion sensors, I modelled a scaled-down version of MY545 (Scale = 1:72): a study room on the fifth floor of the Myhal Building. This model showed a possible location of the motion sensors placed near the entrance of the room to work properly.
MOTION SENSOR
Two motion sensors installed at each entrance would work together to detect the direction (i.e., entering or exiting the room) of a student and will relay that information to an interface (i.e., the display, which will be placed preferably on the ground floor or right next to the entrance of the system designated floor).
DISPLAY
The display would show the occupancy status of the room (i.e., how many seats in the room are available).
WORKING / DEMONSTRATION
If a person moves from sensor A to sensor B, the system will add one person to the count. If a person moves from B to A, the system will remove one person from the total count. The display will show the count at a distant location from the room to tell the students if space is available coming near the room.
