Interacting with the Physical Web

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

An open system broadcasts short URLs from BLE beacons so phones list nearby sites without apps; code uses a Polymer component to load WebBluetooth and pair a phone to an inexpensive device. A live RFduino servo candy drop demo shows a phone writing a single byte to trigger hardware. Deployments include 20 beacons plastered for a conference schedule, four beacons covering an entire summit, and 100 buses in London; beacons can be cloud-managed via resettable shorteners.
