The original goal was to make it possible for a wider group of people to have access to analytics data, and to make really […]

SIGNUL: The World’s First Personal Beacon System     Nexus Experiments with Bluetooth Low Energy were prominent amongst our very first projects at the IoT Design Shop. In particular, a relatively revolutionary device called the “TI Sensor Tag” opened the door for all kinds of interesting experiments and sensor projects. This small unit, released by […]

ConnectionMaker – Indoor Location System   Nexus   Bluetooth Low Energy proximity and location was one of our early areas of research at the IoT Design Shop. We did a number of experiments with signal strength, filtering, and estimation of distance based on tuned Bluetooth LE beacons that we developed in house. Although we determined […]
