It looks like it's just a fun side project for their office, but there are a lot of places that could use something like this.
The digital advertising and design firm posted a lengthy blog post this week showing how it created a device that tells you when your bathroom is unoccupied.
The team used a cheap, $35, Raspberry Pi computer, some circuitry components and homegrown software to create the device.
