I have a physical web prototype kit and I’ve been playing around with it a bit and thinking how BLE “URI beacons” could be used in web scenarios. This feels like the territory of the Web of Things Interest Group, but right now I feel like the “architecture” envisioned by the “Physical Web” framework is orthogonal to the thinking of the WoT IG. I can bring along some physical web BLE beacons to the f2f. Possibly of more interest is the idea of “smart” beacons (enabled via the Intel Edison controller boards that are shipping with kits) that could enable the beacons to do more than just broadcast a static URL (for example, they could encode data into the URL based on the output of a sensor).
