A short video of a teacher in a Kuwaiti school demonstrating how they are using Estimote iBeacons with the Lightcurb iBeacon platform to push information to parents as they arrive at different sections of the school, or when they attend parent-teacher interviews. Its another simple but effective example of iBeacons proving their worth in education – and the more applications we see, the more will be sparked.
The video shows the notifications working on iOS and Android devices. The platform & app service Lightcurb, supports both via its free ibeacon-scanning app and manager platform.
In this video you learn What is iBeacon? Definition of iBeacon.
iBeacon:
iBeacon is a protocol developed by Apple and introduced at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in 2013. Various vendors have since made iBeacon-compatible hardware transmitters – typically called beacons – a class of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) devices that broadcast their identifier to nearby portable electronic devices. The technology enables smartphones, tablets and other devices to perform actions when in close proximity to an iBeacon.
iBeacon is based on Bluetooth low energy proximity sensing by transmitting a universally unique identifier picked up by a compatible app or operating system. The identifier and several bytes sent with it can be used to determine the device’s physical location, track customers, or trigger a location-based action on the device such as a check-in on social media or a push notification.
