StayWithMe

Inspiration

Acano Beacon Challenge in StudentHack Halloween Edition, Manchester, 2014.

How it works

The main purpose of StayWithMe Android application is to detect whether a person/device is inside a particular room by using NFC and BLE technologies. In order to estimate the distance, RSSI and Tx Power data from a Beacon device were calculated. Whenever a device is moving out of the room, a "Yo" message will be sent to the device.

Challenges I ran into

How to work with BLE and NFC.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of
