Each O3 World team member’s theme music plays when he or she walks into the office, helping the whole team get pumped to start the day.
Bluetooth beacons provide a reliable method for detecting the location of a particular device (such as a phone) within a particular space. A great use of these devices would be in a retail environment, where customers are notified of specific promotions depending on which department they are located in at a given time. Data collected from customer preferences and past purchases could be leveraged to personalize a customer’s shopping experience and offer them “deals just for you.”
Our goal with Theme Music project was to see how we could experiment with beacons and data to create a personalized experience for our employees. Using custom-built iOS and Android mobile apps, bluetooth beacon technology, and a Raspberry Pi, as each O3 team member enters the building, the app and beacons connect to inform a Raspberry Pi who entered the office, The app then finds and plays their track. Boom! 15 seconds of awesome for each employee!
