Hermit Crab by jim.peraino for Grasshopper is a tool that analyzes floorplans to find zones that aren’t conducive to social distancing — areas like aisles or workstations where there isn’t enough room for two people to pass while maintaining the CDC-recommended six feet apart. It highlights these areas so that designers and owners can help mitigate risks by adjusting furniture or controlling traffic patterns.

Hermit Crab was originally developed by the team at Spatio Metrics, and is a work in progress.
