It's not the device to fetch metadata. There is an additional service from Google to prevent that - see my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9940474

Jakub here, founder of Estimote. @tashoecraft: Google did here a really elegant design. URLs from beacons are not rendered in the browser directly (it's not the device that resolves URL or fetches description). There is a Google servic

Beacons are much more precise than GPS. You can setup more than 1.5m accuracy and they can have built-in sensors (e.g. motion sensor). So the signal is broadcasted (URL opened) when you touch something for example. As you know beacons use B

Amazon did a great job with that technique and we were inspired a lot by that. Of course companies/startups do less "press-releases" these days, so we adopted it to blogging. The content of published articles does help not on

It very much depends on the number of people and obstacles (glass, metal). The best approach would be to put more beacons in that "interfering" areas. If beacons are installed high enough, so there is always a line-of-sight betwee

Not yet, but you can setup beacons at home as well and check the accuracy - just tried that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtBERi7Lf3c Once you calibrate your room you can make it a public room and other could build apps
