iBeacon Technology Begins Moving Into the Home and NBA Arenas

you could enable the remote when you sit on the couch or start a timer when you step up to the oven to cook.

Hummmm... iBacon :D

There's lots of great potential here, such as music that follows you round your home or automatic lighting using a system such as Philips Hue. The only problem is that due to the sandboxed nature of iOS its success will be totally reliant on how Apple allows the technology to integrate with third party apps through public APIs.

Time to force-feed my pets some iBeacons. For… added security.

I want an iBeacon that let's my phone know when I'm in bed and automatically puts my phone on silent.

you could just set a schedule for do not disturb. :cool:

That's a great idea. Hopefully it's not expensive.

So when is the next apple event ??

I want less ads around me not them in my home.

iBeacon, iBacon, iHouse

So back in January, CalTech had a hackathon.

My team focused exclusively on iBeacon technology. Here are some snapshots of what we produced. I do not want to go too much into detail but we produced a working model with Pintrest API (because they were sponsoring) and working with devices such as hue lights, like some people mentioned but we worked on other devices too not to mention we built some of our stuff that we included!

For that project a couple of companies extended their interest and offered my entire team Full time jobs :)

As for the iBacon comment, we are producing an app for someone which I code named iBacon, it also has to do with this iBeacon technology which I can't say much about. But it works with beacons and we already have that part working (as well as the database ^_^ )

For this project my entire team got an iPhone 5S out of it :)

As what they showed, Real cool, we could actually build this. Some people mentioned apple sandboxing as an issue, trust me its not we built and already got the main core parts working to get all this stuff going...2 months ago.

I just want you guys to know that this is already happening, people are developing, I hope someones excited. I just wish more than just recruiters were at the hackathon, if people gaged the scope of the project I guarantee companies would be far more interested in what we built.

The concept (the one which i provided pictures for) also made a simple version to use google glass to be able to do facial recognition (I made a really cool work around to simplify the overheard and make it possible in large scale). The sky's the limit what we can do with this tech. Just wish I had more funding to be able to create more amazing stuff!!!
