Good concept! Just curious - can the device accurately track multiple people (or group) entering / exiting together in one door swing?

  We're essentially identifying patterns that occur in the voltage readout of two parallel sensors. Two different people, even if passing through without a gap, show enough of a difference in their pattern to tell them apart. It simply takes time to root out all of these granular edge cases.

    Got it, thanks! Not sure what use cases you have already thought about but certainly see this being quite handy from a business perspective e.g. retailers can run real time customized offers/campaigns depending on the levels of density at their place to engage with the users better and improve overall experience (of course bottom line as well:)).

      Like "reverse surge pricing"... free coffee until the place gets busy.

        Exactly or maybe 20% discount on your favorite meal depending on the store/time of day/user profile etc. This can to some extent ensure the overall utilization of the retail store and thus profitability are improved. I'm pretty confident retailers wouldn't mind paying for this on a saas basis or some other similar model. This will also help on the user acquisition side as there's now a really cool incentive for downloading/using the app!
