This would be for tracking individuals in a large building, such as a corporation. Each person wears a bluetooth ID badge. Bluetooth sensors are mounted on each doorway, and in the center of a room on the ceiling. A central database keeps track of movements and and out of rooms. That way you can always
tell where someone is if you need them. Combine with a group ware calendar, and you can see if someone is actually in their meeting, on the phone, etc.

I would be very nervous all day. I'm already afraid every second I'm going set off my boss and get them fired, I'd rather them not be able to see where I am all day long. |
