Coronavirus has changed our lives dramatically over a very short period of time. It forces people
to stay apart and keep certain distance from each other. People are encouraged to avoid 3Cs-
closed space, crowded place, and close contact. In universities and workplaces, rooms are only
allowed to be occupied by up to 50% of their capacities. Nevertheless, there are often many
rooms in an organization, making it extremely difficult for people to keep tracking the vacancies
of all rooms by themselves. For example, the Kyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS)
holds at least 70 rooms in regular use. As a result, students may have to spend a lot of time
searching for available study rooms on campus. Similar problem also exists in workplaces where
office workers may have to waste time to look for available meeting rooms.
  Our mission at AkiKomi is to provide quick and reliable data of room occupancy to everyone by
exploiting our sensors and mobile application. We are aiming not only to support elimination
strategy of prevalent global epidemic but prevention of forthcoming epidemic.
  We believe this mission is indispensable because epidemic is hardly predictable, and its threat is
formidable. Utilizing our technology enable us to handle them instantaneously and has potential
to become a powerful tool for saving people’s lives.
  We will continue to develop our technology to provide comfortable environment and improve
the sense of safety in people’s daily life.
