The document discusses iBeacons and their potential uses in cultural heritage institutions. It describes a platform called Locly that allows organizations to create engaging digital content and experiences tied to iBeacons locations. Various types of iBeacon content like videos, maps, and quizzes are mentioned. Examples are given of how iBeacons could be used in museums and classrooms to provide location-based educational content to visitors and students. A framework called Culture Beacon is presented that would allow multiple cultural institutions to collaborate and share iBeacon content and tours across different locations.
