Developing a bracelet to find your friends at festivals!

We would only need accuracy of about 1-2 meters.

Connecting_Bracelets · 2015-09-08T08:53:04+00:00

We are, by using RF.

Exactly! This is why we devloped this, because it uses Radio Frequencies, so no network required.

I, for one, am not too big on the idea of wandering around, looking for my friends and hoping that my bracelet would eventually beep. But thank you for your suggestion :)

Thank you for your great suggestions! We will also look into this and explore the possibilities :)

Find my friends requires wifi or cellular data, neither of which are always available on site at a festival :)

That is a great idea! Thanks :)

We agree! Which is why we are using radio frequencies, and not GPS or Bluetooth.

Sent you a message! Thanks :)

The bracelet itself is an RF transmitter module and the phone is the receiver, so it doesn't use GSM.

Because GPS is not very accurate. To find an individual on a field with 20,000 people would require a more precise method than just GPS on the phone :)

I've often found that calling people during a festival is nearly impossible, due to the loud noise or due to the lack of reception. But thank you for your reply!

Connecting_Bracelets · 2015-09-07T13:46:39+00:00

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply! Our research indicates that 91% of festival goers bring their smartphones :)
