  This study aimed to explore the usability and applicability of face
recognition sensors in public spaces to collect customer footfall data, which
could then be analysed and evaluated for facility design and planning. Nine
OMRON sensors were provided for the project and installed at five locations in
a public facility for three months. The project was carried out by a local
consortium with the cooperation of local technology-based Small Medium-sized
Enterprises (SMEs), business organisations, and a local university. Collected
data were analysed to develop a report with diagrams, and reveal issues and
potential for practical application in the future.
