The Indyme 'SmartDome' is a piece of technology for retailers that will enable them to politely reinforce healthy shopping habits in light of the recent suggestions from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The device looks like a conventional security camera, but will go to work monitoring shoppers and announce a message to practice physical distancing if they get too close to their fellow shoppers. The battery-operated device is suitable for store staff to install themselves thanks to a battery-powered design that doesn't require any wiring or professional installation.
The Indyme 'SmartDome' will help with physical distancing during the present needs in the retail environment, but can be repurposed after the crisis is over into a solution for increasing customer engagement and reducing theft.
