How to predict the future:
In the last 2 years, Google
has been acquiring a huge
number of companies, but
with a common line between
them:
•Robotics
•Image recognition
•Artificial Intelligence
•Gesture Recognition
•Home Automation

What is Apple’s iBeacon?
iBeacon is a new technology that
extends Location Services. It uses a
Bluetooth Low Energy signal to
allow Mobile Apps to know how close
they are to tiny, low-cost, wireless
transmitters called “hardware
iBeacons” or just “iBeacons”.
What is Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)?
Is a wireless personal area network technology
designed and marketed by the Bluetooth Special
Interest Group aimed at novel applications in the
healthcare, fitness, security, and home entertainment
industries.
Compared to "Classic" Bluetooth, BLE is intended to
provide considerably reduced power
consumption and cost while maintaining a similar
communication range.
What is Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)?
Bluetooth LE is also embedded in other things like watches, tags or
detectors. All around weareable technologies.
Why they are important?
We now can deliver content and interact with users based on their proximity to things in the real world
Its a new way to experience the world
