iBeacon device in itself has grown into a great technology platform of communication between devices while offering seamless beacon based solutions. Beacon technology, not only is central to several IoT functioning networks, but it has also garnered attraction from a set of giants like Apple.
Beacon is a micro device that helps you send and receive small packets of data which contain location information using low energy Bluetooth, known as BLE technology. iBeacon is Apple’s protocol on the Beacon technology itself which has made it more trustworthy, accessible and widely applicable for iBeacon based mobile application developers.
As far as city (tour) guide apps go, there is a huge market to leverage for the opportunists. Due to increasing disposable incomes and the millennial trend of travelling, it is now becoming increasing possible for travellers to hit a destination they don’t exactly know about. We, humans love to explore places we never have visited before. Above and beyond the GPS systems, iBeacon can be a boon for such travellers in new cities leveraging city guide app development leveraging iBeacon technology.
iBeacon based mobile app plays no role in transmitting the data between both the iBeacon receptor and sender devices, but it helps in using the data transferred between them to provide the user with a unique functionality like guided location services, retail experiences, geography targeted ads and many others.
Functioning of iBeacon based city guide application is dependent on the communication between the receptor and the sender beacons. There should be a network of beacons spread out in the city, mostly at all the famous spots using multiple iBeacons with pre-defined proximity. This way, as soon as a traveller passes through the spot, the beacon receptor in mobile devices gets location carrying data packets from the beacon.
Now, the city guide app leveraging iBeacon app development technology can use this very data and give the user unique content related to the location such as estimated time to reach there, fun facts about the place and the estimated number of people currently at the destination.
For any traveller, such an iBeacon based app solution like City Guide App can be a blessing!
