Publisher Description: High-precision location information is increasingly useful for mobile application developers, since it allows devices to interact with the world around them. This practical book shows you how to achieve arm's reach accuracy with iBeacons, simple transmitters that enable your applications to react to nearby surroundings and then deliver timely, relevant information--especially indoors, where GPS and cell service are inaccurate. Whether you're enabling a map, giving users directions, creating a game, recommending purchases, letting users check in, or creating an immersive experience, you'll learn how iBeacons provide precise location information, empowering your applications to engage and interact with users nearby.
