1. A method comprising:
detecting a plurality of secondary devices via one or more wireless transmitters secured to the plurality of secondary devices;
determining characterizing data for each of the detected secondary devices, the characterizing data comprising a type of secondary device and a location of the secondary device with respect to a primary device;
receiving beacon signals from the one or more transmitters secured to the plurality of secondary devices via a receiver within the primary device;
parsing the received beacon signals from the one or more transmitters secured to the plurality of secondary devices to obtain received signal strength indication values for the received signals, angle of arrival values for the received signals, and universally unique identifiers associated with the received signals:
inputting one or more anthropometric characteristics of a user into a workspace profile:
determining a workspace layout for the primary device and the plurality of secondary devices based on the locations of the secondary devices with respect to the primary device;
determining an ergonomic layout in which the primary device and the plurality of secondary devices are distributed in accordance with the type of secondary device and the one or more anthropometric characteristics inputted into the workspace profile;
comparing the ergonomic layout to the workspace layout; and
determining a set of changes for the plurality of secondary devices based on a difference between the ergonomic layout and the workspace layout.
