Project Overview

The IoT Locator Mobile App is an iOS application built for marketing purposes and proof of concept for the SkyNanny IoT gadget. It allows customers to get familiar with the gadget, material information, video, usage guidelines, and ordering details.

Apart from product marketing, the application serves as a demonstration of IoT and location-based technologies by making an iPhone act like an iBeacon. Another iPhone nearby is able to detect the iBeacon device and show the location and distance from it via a radar interface. This is a combination of mobile application development, location-based services, iBeacon technology, and local data storage.

Project Objectives

Market the SkyNanny IoT device using an interactive mobile app.
Offer product details, videos, and instructions for use to the users.
Allow the users to purchase the SkyNanny IoT device.
Showcase the capability of device detection using the iBeacon technology.
Display the nearby devices along with their distance using a radar interface.
Offer a user-friendly experience in iOS.
Showcase the capabilities of location-based IoT.

Business Challenges

1. Inability to Demonstrate Product Interaction with Technology

The product marketing material would not have been able to effectively demonstrate the interaction of the SkyNanny product with mobile and location-based technologies. The application needed to allow the user to interact with the product in an interesting manner.

2. Complicated IoT Technology

iBeacon technology and proximity detection technology would be difficult to understand for non-technical users. The application needed to show this functionality in a simplified way.

3. Requirement of Device Detection in Real Time

There was a need for one mobile device to act as the iBeacon, which was detected by another device that gave the distance between them.

4. Availability of All Information of Product in One Place

Information regarding the product, video, procedure, and order was required to be available in a single mobile application.

5. Simple Experience on Mobile Application

Marketing information along with IoT functionality had to be combined in a simplified mobile application.

Our Solutions

In relation to marketing needs and the requirement for IoT demonstration, we have developed a custom iOS application that will allow combining information about SkyNanny products and location-based features.

Interactive Experience with SkyNanny Products

The app allows presenting information on SkyNanny products, marketing materials, videos, and procedure of the use of the device via an easily accessible mobile interface.

iBeacon & Proximity Detection

The app offers a demonstration of IoT capabilities, which allows using an iPhone as an iBeacon. Another device is then able to discover the beacon and show it on the screen through the radar-like interface and the distance of the beacon.

Ordering & Sharing

It is possible to place an order for the SkyNanny product as well as share the application with other users.

Key Benefits

Promote the SkyNanny IoT device using a special mobile application.
Offer product information and demo videos in one application.
Perform the iBeacons detection test in real time between mobiles.
Display surrounding devices using an interactive radar map.
Illustrate the distance between connected devices.
Allow the user to place orders via the application.
Help users easily distribute the application among other users.
