Frigate on Home Assistant has something like this. It can track how long a “thing” has been sitting there. I use it to track how long my car has been sitting in the driveway. Frigate also can do person tracking and animal tracking. I’m sure I can make it so it tracks how long a person has been sitting in the frame.
As far as the barista and how many drinks they have made. This is a very difficult task. Technically speaking they can have the espresso machine trigger an action when a cup is made. Even then it’s damn near impossible to accurately track that trigger to the correct person in frame.
Essentially this proof of concept is possible but it is highly inaccurate and should be treated as a novelty and not scientific data, at least with the current technologies we have.
too bad a bunch of people are probably gonna get fired from their sole source of income while they work on their degree because their boss saw a number next to them on a camera and decided “that’s not enough cups”

TLDR: this shit isn’t possible yet.
