Staff in the Lower Ground Floor Temple of Doom aka the BBC Newsroom have now had a couple of days with their vibrators attached. These clip to your belt or lanyard and throb gently should you mistakenly move within 2 metres of another wearer. The throb stops when you move apart.
Management encourages the wearing all day, even when on breaks, and assures staff that it records neither data nor location. One of the other features of the Tended device is that it can identify serial bumping; the BBC doesn't say whether or not that's been enabled in their system.
A puzzle - management also say it's ok to switch off your NHS Covid app while you've got a vibrator. Surely you'd still like to know whether or not the people you got too close to have coronavirus, even if it's only after the encounter ?
Wonder if they interfere with talkback like mobile phones did?
