iBeacons can be used for many
things. We were able to meet them in stores, in salons and even
at home, but, in glasses, it's a first.
A company called Tzurkuri is about to launch.
With the support of Internet users, the creators of these glasses hope to see well
arrive iBeacons on the tips of our noses. For what ? Quite simply
pourprevent us from losing our precious glasses.
On the side ofNew York, no sunglasses,
it's for bar hopping that the iBeacons
invite themselves:
Anyone who has never spent several minutes looking for their glasses
sun before going to the beach throws the first stone at me? With these
glasses, all this will no longer happen. The idea here is very simple and could
even apply to objects other than glasses. However, it is up to them
that the creators of Tzurkuri decided to tackle.
The IBeacons chip is integrated into the frame and recharges using energy
solar, which, for sunglasses should not pose too much
problems. Of course, and as required by the technology developed by
Apple, the chip is connected to an application.
Thanks to this app, the user can be warned when they stray too far
of his glasses. This avoids, for example, leaving them on the table
restaurant. Of course, when glasses are misplaced at home, the
IBeacons technology allows you to indulge in a little treasure hunt to put the
hand on it in the blink of an eye.
Last tip from the creators, since the app works in the background
on the users' iPhone, at the equipped optician, customers will be able to
receive information, promotions…
The glasses will cost a little over €200 and will be sold at
next winter.
In a completely different genre,iBeacons will be at the heart of a
event which will take place in New York on May 20. Baptized
BeaconCrawl is actually a bar crawl, mixed with a game of
track, all seasoned with IBeacons sauce and dotted with networks
social.
For the occasion, IBeacons will be installed in the neighborhood and in
the bars. Participants will therefore be invited, using the iPhone, to go
in this or that place to taste a specialty, a drink and get
information on the rest of the browse. Obviously, nothing prevents you from doing
chat with the other 'Beacon crawlers'.
Throughout the journey, sharing on Facebook and Twitter is obviously
encouraged. Throughout their journey, participants will earn points towards
unlock special offers and other rewards to collect...thanks to
iBeacons.
Once again, IBeacons technology shows us that it can be
used to fulfill many objectives and I must admit that the
two from today I particularly like.
