FutureOrb® vs ST BLE Sensor Classic

The FutureOrb® Proximal Web® app, allows you to seek and explore all of the proximal information around you, at work, at school or on-the-go. FutureOrb was developed to support DoD training, communications, and security and can also be utilized for various personal/commercial use. Sure, we could call it Future Orb, but one word is better than two. Getting started with FutureOrb is easy! Browse proximal content on the FutureOrb app. If you don't see any near you, then create your own Orb content and start contributing proximal content. From DoD training initiatives, such as Sailor 2025 to STEM experiences at museums and universities, FutureOrb® Proximal Web® is a flexible framework for publishing content. Receive interactive training when you approach a piece of equipment, eliminate need for paper manuals allowing digital access to manuals. Our motto is “Where content finds you”. Come join the users that are driving the technology of tomorrow, by downloading the FutureOrb app today. Visit the FutureOrb website and request an account to create Orb content for proximal engagements. Then simply add and group any supported wireless signals to your account. You'll be able to easily place URLs, videos, and downloadable content using online Orb templates and tools. The FutureOrb Proximal Web content management service and mobile application enables DoD, individuals, and businesses to register a unique Display Name, and create proximal content called, Orbs, to be managed across various wireless signals, including beacons. The FutureOrb Proximal Web Orb templates allow custom Orbs to be created and served up to anyone nearby. This will allow your customers direct access to your public Classroom Orbs, Training Orbs, Game Orbs and whatever else you create, without having to traverse a website!

The ST BLE Sensor Classic application is used in conjunction with an ST development board and firmware compatible with the BlueST protocol to give you access to all the sensor data, which you can log to different cloud providers, and to update the board firmware directly from a mobile device via the Bluetooth® Low Energy protocol. After discovery ST development board, the app shows you a list of available demos and you can navigate through them to discover the functionalities of your board. Demos can be related about environmental, cloud, audio, board configuration, machine learning and and many other functionalities. Cloud side, ST BLE Sensor can communicate with Microsoft Azure IoT Central, Aws IoT and ST Asset Tracking dashboard. The application is built on top of the BlueST SDK library implementing the BlueST protocol and helps you export the data easily via Bluetooth® Low Energy. The application also supports firmware library algorithms like motion-sensor data fusion, activity recognition and pedometer functionality. Both SDK and application source code are freely available at: https://github.com/STMicroelectronics
