Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprece-dented challenges across the world and universities are not savedeither. Standard classroom activities in COVID era are even more challenging, with the primary challenge being ensuring physical distancing. We present a smart classroom system, BubbleNet, that attempts to relax these challenges. BubbleNet leverages cost- effective (∼ $30) IoT nodes with motion sensors. The IoT nodes collaborate with each other via OpenThread - the latest open- source mesh networking protocol released by Google. In this paper, we present the development and demonstration of BubbleNet for monitoring physical distancing rules in a classroom.
