Movement Sensors a Less Invasive Alternative To CCTV
holy_calamity writes "Researchers at Mitsubishi say cramming buildings with movement sensors, not cameras, is a safer and less invasive alternative to CCTV. They covered their office building with 215 low-cost sensors to watch over their colleagues and show how it works. A video shows how a user can see people's movements on a map of the building in real time. Data from the sensors is much easier to handle than video footage, and it can easily be searched." The Surface-like UI is pretty neat too.

He would never tell a lie and hurt you by doing that.
That's why I pounce and dash around instead of walking at work. Plus, it keeps the boss from asking about the TPS reports.
