IsIn is a tool that was created to make the process of creating hyperlocation experiences easier to prototype and test. Hyperlocation is an advanced method of locating mobile devices; computing where a device is using hardware, named beacons, integrated with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technologies. Simply connect your iBeacon device or a mobile phone simulating bluetooth beacon transmission and track its proximity: ADD / SELECT BEACON To add a new device, you must name the beacon, enter in its UUID, Major and Minor values. To begin tracking the beacon simply tap on the beacon you wish to track from the device list. Swiping an item on the device list allows your to edit or delete values as well. You can add as many beacons to IsIn as you desire. YOU'RE IN / YOU'RE OUT Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is on. As your device moves closer to the beacon, IsIn will change its state to indicate your proximity. IsIn will display 'You're out' until the device location and the beacon location are within close range which will then result in the app displaying 'You're in'. The range of beacons vary from 20m to 300m. The functionality of IsIn does not require cellular connection, data, Wifi, or any other internet connectivity. Updates soon to come. We built this tool for ourselves to help with rapid prototyping hyperlocation experiences and wanted to share.
