Counting Visitors at Currents Using Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi Tracking

There’s a Rpi tracking system installed at Currents, designed to count unique  visitors, without saving any identifying data. In this workshop we will demonstrate how it works, what information we are collecting, how we inform visitors of the system and what opting in/out means to visitors. We will also compare it to more invasive visitor tracking systems (such as those used at retail locations). We’ll play around with the data and discuss the privacy implications of these systems. No previous experience is required, but we will be sharing code and going through the Rpi set up for those with some experience.
