Someone in your organization needs to be getting up to speed on sensors and machine-to-machine communications — and looking for potential applications. This goes for schools, colleges, universities, and corporate training departments as well. Already such technologies are being applied within museums, art galleries, and for self-guided tours.
Is that student, teacher, professor, or trainer not around to talk about their poster, project, or artwork hanging in the hallway? Why not use an app like Locly along with Estimote beacons to allows visitors to hear what they had in mind?
