IK Multimedia recently unveiled the Safe Spacer, a wristband that can alert workers when they’re too close to another person and are therefore risking the transmission of COVID-19.

In an attempt to ease the minds of workers on the job while the COVID-19 transmission risk is still high, IK Multimedia announced the battery-powered wristband that will alert wearers when they come within 1.8 meters of another person wearing a Safe Spacer.

The warnings can be customized as visual, vibrating, or audio alarms. The measurements are purportedly “ultra-precise” and can accurately calculate distances.

IK Multimedia states that the device works right out of the box with no set-up necessary. Because the wristband detects the proximity of other devices, it’s necessary for all people in a space — like a factory, school, office or museum — to wear one for social distance guidelines to be fully observed.

The Safe Spacer will be US$99.99.(SD-Agencies)
