Catch is, would it still work next week. Humidity changes, or the wireless situation changes, like someone turns their hotspot on. More people walking around. The carpet is vacuumed.
I can't find anyone using it IRL. I don't think the hardware supports it in an usable fashion.
The one reason you might look at all this now is for Covid-19 they have turned on some Bluetooth features, but I think they are still not available for non Covid-19 apps anyway.
- sandoze 6y agoGreat question. If I ever go back into the office it would be interesting to retest again. The mapping is fairly straightforward and many of these technologies require periodic remapping. We’ve yet to test (or find) any tech that does a self healing as things change.
- daniellarusso 6y agoSo, if one person activates the hotspot feature on their phone, does it render this inoperable?
- sandoze 6y agoDefinitely no.
- aeontech 6y agoThe indoor maps feature was released a year ago, and is by now in active use at many transit stations (like New York metro, London Underground), airports (like LAX), shopping malls (like Westfield in San Francisco)... you can see a list of dozens of airports already mapped here, actually: https://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/#maps-indoor-maps-airports https://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/#maps-indoor-... I don’t think any of the indoor mapping relies on Bluetooth, why do you think that?
