A proposal of interaction system between visitor and collection in museum hall by iBeacon

Abstract

Beacon is an in door positioning system provided by Apple based on BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology. Smart devices, such as iPhone or Android phone can detect advertising signals sent by the low energy consumption tiny device. Notifications will be pushed automatically to the user when smart device with iBeacon Apps come to certain areas. It provides promising and portfolio usage scenarios for business, such as retail stores, to push related information about customers' interested items with the awareness of customers' location. This technology also can be used in museum scenario. In this research, we described the principle of iBeacon, and addressed a design of interaction system between visitors and collections supported by iBeacon technology.
