  8. 8. Bluetooth LE: What is It? In which we go from geeky to less geeky
  9. 9. Bluetooth LE: What is It? Bluetooth LE is a specification Not to be confused with Bluetooth The specification is used to create Bluetooth LE chipsets e.g. Kontakt Chipset The chipsets are embedded in devices e.g. Estimote Device
  10. 10. Bluetooth LE: What is It? Bluetooth LE Devices Transmit Small Packets of Data Which wake up a “listener” to let it know that it’s there.

  18. 18. But did you know there are MILLIONS of Bluetooth LE beacons in the world? They’re Called Phones (Or tablets. Because your mobile device is a beacon too)
  19. 19. Um, in plain English please?
  20. 20. What is It? Phones (and tablets) can finally “see” what they’re close to. It’s low energy: your phone doesn’t lose battery and a beacon can last for years without being plugged in. It’s cross-platform: all the major phone platforms have Bluetooth LE capabilities (although some still need to turn those capabilities “on”)
  21. 21. Hold on I can already use my phone to figure out where I am. What’s the big deal?
  22. 22. Ah Yes, GPS On the one hand, you can think of Bluetooth LE as an ‘extension’ of location technology: ! •It’s a lot like GPS but also uses a LOT less battery •GPS doesn’t work very well once you get inside. Bluetooth LE does. !
  23. 23. Ah Yes, GPS But if you think of Bluetooth LE as “indoors/low battery GPS” you’re missing the bigger picture. !
  24. 24. GPS is navigation through a stormy sea. Only if you see the stars can you roughly figure out where you are. !

  27. 27. And if you think about it, that’s a BFD ! ! ! * Thanks for the term, Joe Biden! *
  28. 28. Why now?
  29. 29. Why now? With Apple on board, Bluetooth LE is the first proximity technology supported by all the major mobile platforms. Apple might have been the last to figure out what kind of technology to use. But somehow it’s getting all the buzz and credit. (Imagine that)
  30. 30. So it may be a young technology, but it’s big news. ! ! !
  31. 31. Why it Matters !
  32. 32. In a Word: Context We can now deliver content and experiences to users based on precise proximity to things in the physical world. ! Just think of all the things you’re “near” in a day. ! ! !
