The Density Device Means Mobile Employees Find Empty Spots to Work

By Annie Pilon Counting the number of people in a room seems like a pretty simple task, and not one with a whole lot of practical value. But that s not the case for Density. The San Francisco-based company is actually completely based around that concept. The company makes a gadget that can be installed on the door frame of a business to count the people who come and go. You might wonder why anyone would find such a thing useful. Well, currently the company partners with the Portland, Oregon, firm Workfrom, a company that reviews coffee shops, bars and other WiFi connected spots based on factors that might affect remote workers. Density s offering is applicable in this instance because it can give people an idea of how many people are in each spot in real time. So, that way freelancers and mobile employees can avoid lugging their laptops all over town in search of an empty table. And at the same time, the tool could help those businesses with empty tables bring in some extra customers
