Overview
It always seems like an impossible task to find an open table to work or a quick line for food across the WashU campus. BusyBear's goal is to create a database that is accessible to WashU students that will show the population and busyness trends of popular locations on campus, beginning with Lopata Gallery. By using the Wifi receiver located on the Raspberry Pi, we will receive an approximate measurement of busyness based on wifi signals. Our end goal is to gather information to allow the WashU community to create more educated decisions regarding where to go and when to go there.
