New sensor Waffle cuts install time down to seconds

SAN FRANCISCO: Density, the leader in workplace analytics, today introduced its new sensor Waffle, a self-installable radar sensor that makes counting people anonymously in phone booths, meeting rooms and flex spaces possible in minutes, not months. At $149 per device, Waffle cuts the cost of measuring the average meeting room by 84%.

The new sensor is small (3.25” x 3.25”) and does not require professional installation - it can be mounted on a wall, under a TV, on a credenza or on another piece of furniture by anyone, no ladders required. The amount of time required to start counting people with Waffle is a nearly one thousand-fold improvement from other sensors.

At launch, Waffle provides "capped count" of 0, 1, 2, and 3+. Customers can instantly and anonymously measure binary occupancy, 1-1s, and group meetings in real-time, making it ideal for the workplace and other environments where people expect privacy.

The first plug-in sensor of its kind, Waffle can operate in real-time indefinitely, unlike battery-powered sensors that are incapable of real-time applications due to their need to preserve power.

  • Waffle measures phone booths, meeting rooms and flex spaces up to 15x20 square feet.
  • Shows if a space is free or in use and whether it’s used by one, two or more than three people.
  • $149 per device + $95 per year for software and API access to Waffle data.
  • Available for online purchase in January 2025; now taking reservations.

"99% of human buildings are unmeasured,” added Density CEO Andrew Farah. “We use guesswork to build and iterate on our cities and infrastructure. To have a chance of making the three trillion square feet of buildings worldwide more efficient and fit for actual human use, we need to make people measurement anonymous, inexpensive and self-installable. Waffle is an important step into that future."

Real time and historical insights

Waffle works within Density’s software ecosystem of Density Atlas, Live and API to support:

  • Real-time space availability and wayfinding through Density Live, a map of available spaces and the fastest route to get there.
  • Occupancy planning to determine how a space can be optimally allocated to teams while preserving access to amenities and meeting rooms.
  • Workplace analytics that help companies understand how their spaces actually get used to inform better employee experience and space design.
