    So the parent corporate company is requiring us to install this stuff. From their website:

    :mad: I'm installing it on the actual laptop owned by the company, which I hardly ever use, as I have a much more powerful laptop. :laugh:

    So this is a one shoe fits all effort, you will now be assessed on the same standards as the office drone! Just ignore it, if they ever query you on it point to your output and the endorsement of your immediate manager (and your salary package).

            True story: Back when I wrote vessel navigation software we had a request to detect when the captain/pilots left the chair. A few months after we implemented it we heard that most of the ships had oscillating fans on the bridge. :laugh:

            The connection between an oscillating fan and someone seated or leaving a seat is lost on me :)

              We were detecting motion, after a length of time without motion an alarm would sound.

                Thanks, so the fan would rustle papers and trigger motion or rather the fan being in frame and moving would trigger motion detection? :laugh:

                  This. There was an idea put forward to detect heat but we figured they would find a way to get around that so never bothered. This was decades ago, I'm sure the young engineers today are using something more modern.

                      I have written some motion detection software that works with webcams that I wrote around 14 years ago. I think modern cpu power has made detecting people, over other moving objects, much easier and more reliable.
