===== BeaconHack =====

(Work in progress...)

Playing around with iBeacons, Google Physical Web, BLE.

The first challenge is to program a simple app which shares something about your location when it detects a beacon. For example, in the different rooms of the National Library where the hackathon takes place we can learn something about the biography of the authors whose name they carry.

We are looking into the following platforms:

  * [[http://altbeacon.github.io/android-beacon-library/index.html|Android Beacon Library]] (AltBeacon only)
  * [[https://github.com/petermetz/cordova-plugin-ibeacon|Cordova iBeacon plugin]] 
  * [[http://evothings.com/estimote-starter-kit/|Evothings Studio]]
