Martin Schmid of t8y.com presented on IoT and how it relates to their work. They discussed how iBeacons can be used for indoor navigation and location-based games. As an example, they created an app called DUS Open Playground that used iBeacons installed around Dusseldorf train station to guide users on a scavenger hunt game and provide them information based on their location. The backend for the app was built using Magnolia CMS to manage the beacon locations and app content which was served to users via a REST API. The presentation covered the technology used, lessons learned from testing the app, and how iBeacons can add value for indoor navigation in various

- 20. DUS Open Playground - The motto: added value through connection virtual and real life 20
- 21. Open Playground - Ideas The ideas: - find mate ("wait or date) - indoor navigation on moving persons - find shop - indoor navigation map, - show the path to store, send discount voucher etc. - timetable - train delay - time need to go to platform - Schnitzeljagd (paper chase) - game across the station 21
- 22. Open Playground - Paper Chase Schnitzeljagd (paper chase): - Users get a set of caches across the D端sseldorf main train station. - After finding a cache, the user receives a multiple choice quiz. - The time between finding caches and the time taken to solve the questions are part of the score. - Once the user solved a quiz, she or he will be send to find the next cache. - Daily Highscore 22
- 23. Open Playground - Paper Chase - The setup: - an android app with iBeacon capabilities - Magnolia for managing beacons, positions and app content. - REST API (Json) enables communication between the app and Magnolia. 23

- 33. Paper Chase - Field Test Learnings - some iBeacons are not available or have very short range - some trigger points commit other UUIDs - beacon send intervall can be relative long - Content operators must be able to switch beacons and beacon positions easily, as it is not guaranteed that iBeacons work over an extended period of time. 33

- 45. IoT bei t8y.com Conclusion iBeacons are a valuable support for indoor navigation. The technology works globally in public and closed areas, like - railway stations, bus stops - airports, - shopping areas and malls, - city guides - museum Combined with a dedicated app, which must be installed on the mobile device, iBeacons will become an added value. 45
