We developed a sensor enabled flooring material that replaces the fiberglass structural layer in typical commercial flooring and it turns the floor into a massive readable surface. We use that to create a "spatial API" for applications to be developed for the built world. Our most popular application to date has been one that we developed with the Department of Energy where buildings that have our floor sensors integrate real time occupancy data to the building management system and it intelligently controls the HVAC in real time in order to reduce waste. We typically save 30-35% of a building's energy waste/cost all without impeding on occupant privacy or comfort.
Another interesting application under development is using the sensors as a way to predict fall events in senior living environments through the ongoing analysis of a patient's gait
