Logitech's New Sensor Helps Offices Save Energy - By 'Tracking' Their Employees - Yanko Design
Briefly

Logitech's Spot sensor introduces a new level of spatial awareness in modern offices, utilizing mmWave radar technology to detect human presence with remarkable accuracy. Unlike traditional sensors that rely on infrared, Spot can track even minor movements, feeding real-time occupancy data into office management systems. This optimization aims to cut energy waste in underutilized spaces. However, the integration of such technology into the workplace raises questions about employee surveillance and privacy, as continuous tracking could lead to unintended data usage within a broader monitoring ecosystem.
The rise of "smart" offices often parallels a rise in employer oversight. The same infrastructure that powers efficiency can heighten surveillance.
Spot is a spatial awareness tool packed with mmWave radar, designed to detect human presence and optimize energy consumption in the office environment.
While Spot reduces waste by optimizing energy consumption, it also raises concerns about employee privacy, as it tracks even minute movements.
Logitech claims the Spot sensor offers a pragmatic upgrade that can save companies money by adjusting resource use based on real-time occupancy data.
