FreeSpace connects people and places. FreeSpace allows students to quickly and easily find open study spaces anywhere on campus. We use a combination of a distributed sensor network, live room reservation schedules, and machine learning to intelligently determine the current and upcoming state of every study space on campus. We protect this information by using Duke's directory streaming API. FreeSpace allows students to access this data through a native Android app and room status updates via text using Twilio. We are currently developing iOS and web applications.
