Overview
The purpose of BetaDelta is to provide real-time updates on the availability of a given study room. The information will be uploaded to a website, developed through Amazon Web Services, based on input from the BetaDelta device. The goal for the BetaDelta device is to detect occupancy via motion sensor, connected to a raspberry pi, and encased in a 3D printed shell.
