Frequently asked questions

  • Each Parkville library has a digital sign located at the main entrance, and it will indicate how busy each floor is for that library and how busy each of the other libraries are on campus.

    Bookmark library.unimelb.edu.au/services/find-a-seat to view overall library occupation for each branch from home or on the tram.

  • The sensors work by employing proprietary algorithms to analyse 3 dimensional maps of the entrance to each space in real time. Shape movements are extracted from the maps that match defined criteria to determine how many people enter and exit the space each minute.All of the 3D processing and analysis is done within the sensor itself and the  technology is anonymous. No identifying information is stored or transmitted from the sensor.

    The sensors indicate the number of people on that level, not how many seats are physically available.

  • The data updates every 10 seconds

  • No, it is not, especially as the system counts people entering and exiting the floor not seats. There will be people looking for books in the stacks or visiting the bathroom and staff members working in the building included in the count, who will not be using seats.
