I'm also interested in the resolution of the motion sensor. I'm assuming that since it's just an accelerometer that it will be a simple "I'm stationary" vs. "I'm moving" broadcast - can anyone from estimate clarify that?
But cool update whatever the answer :)
As to your other question, currently the beacon or sticker just transmits exactly as you said: moving or not. But we'd like to expand that in the future to include direction, velocity, time in motion, etc. Are there particular parameters you'd like to see?
I guess that direction, velocity etc would be cool, but since they need to be communicating with an app on a smartphone anyway it might be overkill.
On the other hand, if beacons/stickers could somehow transmit that info independently of a smartphone app (e.g. through a hub device with internet connection) that could be pretty amazing!
Why would one choose beacon over the sticker?
While I see the philosophical distinction you are making here I don't see any technical reason why a sticker couldn't be used as a beacon. So I guess my question is, are stickers crippled by your SDK/firmware to not replace beacons or can they be used as such if someone didn't care about the philosophical difference?
Is there a volume discount, or is it still $10/sticker (which is a pretty good price in itself)
