ABC News 7: Coronavirus News: Putnam County Museum Uses Technology to Enforce Social Distancing
July 31, 2020
There's a unique buzz surrounding the reopening of a Putnam County museum as New York continues its measured emergence from the coronavirus pandemic.
Magazzino Italian Art is the only museum in the US using wearable technology to enforce social distancing.
Visitors to the 20,000-square-foot museum dedicated to Italian postwar and contemporary art are giving small badges worn on a lanyard upon arrival.
The devices light up and vibrate when users come within six feet of one another.
