Tor B CanTor B Can helps to discover new places and meet new people. You can play it to compete against each other or just have fun spending the night out. It uses beacon technology to detect the pubs and restaurants your are visiting and gathers points for the fastest team.© Beaconinside / indoo.rs 3

Beacon BoardLeave messages at every place or even at moving beacons. The database links beacon IDs with messages and encrypts it end-to-end. You have to go to the location to decrypt the information. Hints can be added to beacons for only certain people. The board can be extended to support hidden and secret messages.© Beaconinside / indoo.rs 4

Beaconized Smart WatchIntegrating beacon technology into a Sony SmartWatch 3. No smartphone required and still receiving contextual notifications based on your location.

Lootogo PayMeGermany's first toilet search engine wants to embed a voluntary mobile payment scheme. You enter a public toilet and after leaving this place you will get a beacon message. It says that it's recommended to give 50 cents to keep the toilet clean. With one "Yes, 50cent!" click on the interactive notification it's paid, no app interactions required.© Beaconinside / indoo.rs 6

CLBeacon accuracy

Not a distance estimate!

Indicates the one sigma horizontal accuracy in meters. Use this property to differentiate between beacons with the same proximity value. Do not use it to identify a precise location for the beacon. Accuracy values may fluctuate due to RF
