iBeacon asset in Unity game development - iBeacon Retail

Dit ontwikkel platform wordt in de game industrie gebruikt voor de ontwikkeling van vele 3D en 2D games en staat bekend om de snelheid waarmee je games kan ontwikkelen en publiceren op verschillende platformen. Games als Monument Valley (momenteel wereldwijd nr 1 op iOS), Monochroma, Need For Speed, Temple Run en vele anderen zijn met Unity ontwikkeld. Sinds kort heeft iBeacon ook intrede gedaan op het Unity platform zodat game developers iBeacon ook kunnen toepassen op allerlei manieren. De toepassingen die we momenteel zien van iBeacon liggen vooral op het retail vlak. Toch zijn er voor gaming ook mogelijkheden te bedenken om iBeacon toe te passen in games. Hoogstwaarschijnlijk gaan games gebruik maken van de mogelijkheid om van het iOS apparaat een iBeacon te maken.

Turn your iPhone into an iBeacon Transmitter. iBeacon. iBeacon is the trademark[1] for an indoor positioning system[2][3][4] that Apple Inc. calls "a new class of low-powered, low-cost transmitters that can notify nearby iOS 7 or 8 devices of their presence.

"[5] The technology enables a smart phone or other device to perform actions when in close proximity to an iBeacon.[6] One application is to help smart phones determine their approximate location or context. With the help of an iBeacon, a smartphone's software can approximately find its relative location to an iBeacon in a store. iBeacons can help a phone show notifications of items nearby that are on sale, and it can enable payments at the point of sale (POS) where customers don’t need to remove their wallets or cards to make payments. iBeacon technology works using the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, also known as Bluetooth Smart.[7] An assortment of iBeacons from different vendors Functions[edit] Region monitoring[edit] Ranging[edit]

Anyone interested in accessing the entire iOS SDK API from Unity? iBeacon Locate. The iBeaconTool is an application for Bluetooth 4.0 (Low Energy / Smart) iBeacon / iBeacons device.

The iBeaconTool app lets you scanning,discovery,configure,install device very quick and easy. It can also monitor multiple devices simultaneously.The application can connect/disconnect to the device, get the connected device information and service data. The application supports the following functionality: RadiusNetworks/android-ibeacon-service. Dave Addey. iOS 7 introduced a new way to detect and monitor location, known as iBeacons.

This article gives an overview of what iBeacons are, what they can do, and how you go about setting them up. iBeacons are low-power, short-distance location monitoring beacons. Any iOS device that supports Bluetooth Low Energy can become an iBeacon, and can detect other iBeacons when they are nearby. Apps can be notified when iBeacons move in and out of range of the device, and can monitor the proximity of iBeacons as their proximity changes over time. iBeacons enable you to create and monitor location-specific regions on any iOS device that supports Bluetooth Low Energy. Any iOS device that supports Bluetooth Low Energy can be turned into an iBeacon. iOS devices aren’t the only devices that can become iBeacons, however. iBeacons are detected in the background by iOS, even when your app is not running.

One neat feature of iBeacons is that changes in their proximity can be monitored over time. Les iBeacons sont-ils les meilleurs amis des développeurs ? Afin de surveiller les innovations, comprendre comment cela marche, ce qu’il est possible de faire avec, mais aussi de nous faire plaisir, ekito achète régulièrement toutes sortes de technologies venant de sortir ou en pré-commande et expérimente avec. Nous avons donc acheté en pré-commande des iBeacons. Ça y est, ils sont arrivés ! C’est quoi un iBeacon ? Un iBeacon est un tout petit appareil qui émet via Bluetooth un signal, qui peut être utilisé comme une balise pour faire du géo-positionnement. Contrairement au GPS, dont les satellites ne sont pas joignables dans une zone couverte (parking souterrain, magasin…), cette technologie est adaptée pour une installation indoor. Nous les avons commandé à estimote. Voici le paquet reçu : Le packaging est plein d’humour : Les beacons estimote mesurent 6 centimètre par 4 centimètres, avec une hauteur de 2 centimètres.

La face arrière est adhésive et permet de détacher et repositionner le beacon ailleurs. Techniquement, comment ça se passe ? Google+
