iBeacon Technology - Part 2 | ScreenCastsOnline - FileMaker future | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

Following on from last week, I explore further iBeacon technology and Estimote Beacons.

Estimote Beacons are delivered fully configured and working straight out of the box.

However, once you've signed up for an Estimote Cloud account, you can use the Estimote iOS App (or their website) to tweak the settings on each Beacon. In the first part of the show I show you what is configurable and how to do it.

In the second part of the show, I demonstrate a typical use for iBeacon technology using a 3rd party app called "Launch Here" - an app launcher that you can configure to launch specific applications when you approach a designated Beacon.

The full tutorial covers:
