Simple Internet of Things ( IOT ) Demo Game The goal of the multiuser game is to send as many MQTT messages to IOTF as possible by moving your mobile device. You can send additional message by clicking the moving circle or shaking your device. In order to start register with a unique name via the button.After all participants are register a chosen Gamemaster can start the game for everybody. #IOTF #IBM #Bluemix #MQTT #Internet of Things

Scenario’s
 Collect data form all Bluetooth Devices and beacons around via node.js
using a Raspberry Pi or a notebook with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
 Send notification when Beacon is within a Range of the Raspberry Pi
(E.g. send sms when one is back from a run using fitbit for example)
 Use Raspberry Pi by as a Beacon
 Beacon Roaming between 2 gateways

Type
WIFI Grid Locationing
 Will provide actual (x,y) coordinate of phone
 Margin of error: 5-10 Meters + variables
WIFI Proximity
 Provides (x,y) coordinate of the SENSOR that detects you.
 Margin of error: 2-5 Meters + variables: Dependent on
proximity setting
Beacon/BLE
 Only provides beacon ID. Server maps that to beacon
location.
 Margin of error: 1-2 Meters depending on beacon used
and configuration
Small Cell
 Will provide actual (x,y) coordinate of phone
 Margin of error: 5-10 Meters + variables
Magnetic Resonance
 Require no specialized hardware & quite accurate
 Dependent on establishing a hard location & fingerprinting
of site
SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping)
 No hardware required
 Leverages sensors on the device
 Used in conjunction w/other sensors
