iBeacons and Non-Linear Storytelling
Designers are looking at re-purposing the IoT to create site-specific interactive stories in the public sphere.
Smart beacons are a bluetooth enabled technology that have existed for a couple of years, but have so far gained limited traction. They can for example alert shoppers in or near stores to special offers.
Several designers shared interesting work around harness iBeacons to create site-specific storytelling. Sounds, images and stories are seen at specific locations, often linking to local stories and histories. One commercial application showed how iBeacons and virtual reality  could combine in a museum environment to create a secondary rich narrative for different audiences.
Meanwhile organisers of the festival scattered more than one thousand bluetooth iBeacons across Austin to help attendees make personal connections with one another. Whenever users opt-in to beacon alerts on the official app, they are matched with attendees sharing similar interests when they come within range of each other at selected venues.
