Abstract:
A computer-implemented method executed by a processor for reducing exposure of a plurality of objects to environmental conditions by employing a smart room tracking system is presented. The computer-implemented method includes counting a number of individuals within a space including the plurality of objects via one or more image capture devices and determining whether each individual makes direct eye contact with any of the plurality of objects by evaluating orientation, posture, and eye movement of each individual. The computer-implemented method further includes shielding, via an object viewing controller, an object of the plurality of objects from view when no direct eye contact is determined and making an object of the plurality of objects viewable, via the object viewing controller, when direct eye contact is determined.
