JSON API

BruCON 2011, day 2 - Social interaction between participants in the lounge area (in PDF and PNG format) was measured using OpenBeacon active RFID tags. In the the picture you can see the top 50 visitor tag IDs versus interaction duration. You can also find a live demo of this graph (including source code).

BruCON 2011 Active 2.4GHz OpenBeacon Proximity Tag was used to measure social interaction between BruCON participants and to track positions

Brucon 2011, day 2 - Tag sightings per minute

We did set up a live re-player on http://api.openbeacon.net/get/brucon.json which loops day 2 of BruCON 2011. Log files including visitor position and tag-to-tag sightings in JSON format are available in bzip2 and ZIP file format.

See OpenBeacon Tracker API Installation for setting up this server API and the example code on your own server.
