The main purpose for this project is to provide an accurate method of measuring the cafeterias UMass Boston occupancy and present live data in an understandable and accessible way. On the side of the entrance and exit of the cafeteria. A small sensor device will detect and provide an accurate count of an individual’s whenever they enter and exit the cafeteria. This will then be displayed on a website accessible to whoever is a faculty and a student of that campus.
