That was touched on in the "Find My" section.
- rektide 5y ago> “Find My”-style devices will help tighten up the mapping of the physical world to enable augmentation — really this is part of the platform substrate, but the same tech underlies a key bridge between physical and virtual. The section has good stuff in it, but to me it came off as me-centric, as about high end experiences like VR, accurate spatial systems. And that feels like it's a very different piece of the platform than what I was talking about, which is beacons that we can leave for each other. Getting to a bar & having the menu advertise itself. Art installs that come with interesting mini-sites on the browser, or which are cross-media. QR codes are the closest thing we have today, but QR codes require very explicit intent to use, and I've long been interested in the promise of more ambient computing, of seeing the numerous micro- / edge- clouds about me, & seeing what they might offer. I didn't get any of that from the Find My. I'm looking for Find Your, I guess. Or Share Mine. Which Physical Web did, which Apple's iBeacons continue to do.
