Coronavirus: Amazon using augmented reality to keep workers 2m apart during pandemic

Amazon has revealed a new tool it's using to ensure warehouse employees keep socially distant during the coronavirus pandemic. The new "Distance Assistant" is a combination television screen, depth sensor, and artificially-intelligent camera that can track workers' movements. As workers move past the camera, a monitor gives visual information to show if employees are within six feet of one another. If they are at a safe distance, they will be enclosed within a green circle on the screen. If they are not, they will be in a red circle.
