Are You at a Beacon-enabled Location?
Download the free Live Beacon app from the App Store or Google Play to receive information from nearby beacons.
What is Live Beacon?
Live Beacon is a small, battery-powered, cloud-controlled device that transmits web content to smartphones and tablets up to 30 meters (100 feet) away.
Live Beacon makes it possible to:
- Transmit information about any object or place. Like a painting in an art gallery, an artefact in a museum, or the menu in a restaurant.
- Create self-guided tours, where the information automatically changes as visitors move from one beacon to another.
- Share content with an audience; whether that's a handful of colleagues in a boardroom, a class of students, or thousands at an event.
- Build awesome location-based experiences; such as mazes, soundscapes, treasure hunts, and more.
We like to say it's: the little gizmo that transmits info!
Transmit location-specific web content to visitors' smartphones & tablets.
Beacons + Cloud Portal + Free App
Live Beacon isn't just a device — it's a simple, yet powerful, combination of hardware and software.
- The beacons transmit your content.
- The cloud portal is used to update your content.
- And the free app receives your content.
Use the cloud portal website to:
- Transmit any web page, video or web app; or use the drag-and-drop editor to create content.
- Change the notification message that visitors receive (like a text message) when they arrive.
- Adjust the range, from a tap (like contactless) — up to 30 meters (100 feet).
- For advanced users, build powerful context-aware, proximity-based experiences with sub-meter accuracy using the code view and JavaScript API.
Connect digital content to the physical world.
— How It Works —
1) Position beacons near to points-of-interest.
2) Update their content using the cloud portal.
3) Visitors with the Live Beacon app automatically receive a notification when they arrive.
4) As they move from beacon-to-beacon the content automatically changes.
Live Beacon also supports The Physical Web to receive content without downloading the Live Beacon app.
