How exactly do you write programs or even start to use these. My teacher may be giving me one because she doesn't have any clue on what to do with these. Please explain or direct me
consumers please be aware that the real intention of the manufacturers is to store your shopping data and sell it to participating retailers, with VERY detailed info where you were before and after purchase as well as what you bought.
Wait. So if I build myself a bluetooth beacon (say with a raspberry pi) I can set it up so all devices that pass it automatically download whatever I choose?!? I really hope one will be able to disable that "feature"...
Retailers could collaborate to develope an app-based shop-enviroment. Integrating this technology into the OS would *definitely* not be the best, but the worst case.
One major flaw here as any other payment method not containing cash. Not everyone gets approved to use these services. I my self cant buy or pay for a single thing online and im 42 years old and im living in Sweden.
"We did it. Tricked you into using online shopping and accepting all cookies. Now its even easier to track you and we dont even need those beacons anymore"
you said "can trigger a reward for you coming in to the store, tailored based on your customer history", but how does the beacon know who you are? Doesn't beacon only broadcast information? It cannot know who you are right?
Niral Fernando sure it will. It will find out everything about you through the blockchain database that it has already started accumulating on all of us. Please don't believe me just for saying it but look into it for yourself.
I want to buy the app that hacks this system and I can walk out of the store with free stuff and the bill ends up on someone else's bill. That would be the dream. The hacking might prevent this system from being fully implemented. This smart beacon is another way to make people more lazy and remove a lot of jobs for those requiring part-time work like students, elderly, soccer moms, etc.
Completely agree with your last point. Business just don't want to train their employees to be better at their jobs because then they would have to pay them more. SMH
where i work everybody besides management works "Part Time" they do this so they don't legally have to offer benefits and its cheaper in some ways and its a way for them to have more people working yet i know tons of people that work 40 + hours a week yet they still call it part time but its full time hours.
Dirtynicker911 well lot of the retail stores try and make people work 4-5hrs a day spread over the entire week which ends up being about 20-25hrs a week. And the thing I found about this while working at a few of these stores is that they do this to avoid paying out benefits and keep people worried about their job security. while in reality, the store has more than enough hours that most people could work 8hrs a day but the hours are unevenly spread among the supervisors and those who bow down to them. Others like me students who are just there to make some extra cash to have some spending money. I still work at a different store with which I have in writing that I will only work a set number of days and each day that I work it will be 8hrs. I prefer to have a full 8hr shift one day over a bunch of days with 4-5hrs each day.
Wow, this video was shared 7y ago and we aren't quite there yet...

Not quite how it works, also you still wouldn't be able to run any thing

"Let's make shopping even MORE annoying so people will just do it online!"
"We did it. Tricked you into using online shopping and accepting all cookies. Now its even easier to track you and we dont even need those beacons anymore"

Aaaand it's dead

Called it
put an ad on the glass bro "sale sale sale" enough with those apps...
Now employers are "attaching" beacons to their employees to track them all day. Really. Like Big Brother always watching you.
Who else came here when they heard about the Apple Airtags. I knew immediately it couldn't have been an original idea.
It could T up the boogie man too

SPAM meets Bluetooth :-/
people are going to make they're own and start doing shady things
Selling it like it will actually improve our lives next.....

Another good reason to pull the battery out of my phone...
Beacon doesn't work well.
Thanks.This rech will be perfect to help me hack people's phones :/
Oh wait, I forgot stealing money via the checkout system.
As if people didn't stare at their phones enough all day every day.
God, this sounds awful. Aren't we already harassed enough by marketing?
