This document proposes a solution called Smart Team Tracking to track the exact positions of friends or coworkers indoors and outdoors using beacons and GPS. It would allow users to see the locations of groups or individuals directly, discussing challenges like indoor mapping, database design, and privacy. The proposed technologies are beacons, Neo4j, Android, a server/client model, and Google Indoor Maps.

2. The problem ...
Tracking the exact position of friends or coworkers in venues,
museums or offices is not trivial.
Calling is slow, not scalable and synchronous
Typical indoor positioning is for places, not for people

Track the position of groups or individual friends directly!
Beacons indoor and GPS outdoor
Beacons also deliver informations about their room
