KOKUYO and SCIEN Launch Office AI Measurement Project
The project puts a measurable feedback loop after the design phase, where KOKUYO says surveys, interviews, and visual observation alone have not made continuous quantitative tracking easy.

KOKUYO and SCIEN Inc. have launched the Office AI Measurement Project, which reads how office spaces are used from video data and turns it into a basis for decisions on layout and operations. KOKUYO brings space design experience; SCIEN handles AI technology verification, video analysis, and implementation support. SCIEN also plans to support development and verification of simulation tools.
The stated problem is the gap between design and use. Office usage shifts as work styles and organizations change, and the two companies say conventional surveys, interviews, and visual observation cannot continuously and quantitatively track those shifts. The project proposes reading movement within the office and the usage status of each area from video, then feeding that data into decisions on layout and operations.
SCIEN's role covers AI technology investigation and verification, analysis of the video data, and support for getting the system into a form that works on site. The companies describe the goal as offices that keep improving by measuring actual usage after design.
