24. IoT Sensors
28. With multiple smart objects around us, installing an app for each doesn't scale And how to discover objects close by, without being buzzed at and annoyed? 28
30. Google Beacon Platform + + The Physical Web Beacon Eddystone
31. How does it work? Beacon Smartphone Cloud Urls
32. Other Beacon Protocols Beacon • iBeacon • Estimote Connectivity • Estimote Location • Estimote Telemetry • Nearable
33. Example Beacon Smartphone Cloud Urls
34. Google Beacon Platform • Eddystone • Nearby API • Proximity Beacon API
35. Google Beacon Platform • Provision • Registration • Management
36. 36 • Beacon technology based on BLE and the Eddystone protocol • Allows for discovering objects in the proximity, represented by URLs (Physical Web) • Users have to ask to see objects to avoid pestering people • Secure (no tracking) as URLs are processed via a proxy; HTTPS only • Fully open design; for instance supported by Opera which operates their own proxy Eddystone and Physical Web is a great solution
37. 37 Allows for finding objects and services around you Supported by Chrome (iOS and Android) and Opera And it is in use today!
38. 38 Case story - Proxama http://marketingland.com/london-buses-test-first-consumer-experience-physical-web- 170529 Proxama's Physical Web enabled PWA in use in London
39. Retail Beacons • Store Proximity • Check in • Product Information • Check-out
43. 43 Where Else Can It Work? Many possibilities Many Opportunities Your Imagination
44. Emerging Web Standards(Connectivity) • Web Bluetooth • Web NFC • Web USB
45. IoT Software & Languages
46. 46 Already, 53% of mobile developers are involved in IoT development (VisionMobile) Majority of these have no embedded background, and are not used to C, manual memory management, etc. How do we give them the tools these smart people need JavaScript looks like a nice candidate Mobile Developers will do IoT
47. 47 Why [not] Node? • Fast, very fast • Consistent • Asynchronous • Event-based • Scalable • Top 1 language in the world • Large Community JavaScript looks like a nice candidate
48. 48 Hardware is blocking and synchronous
